Adding and Editing Users

Adding a User

Add/Edit Users

Zend Platform allows you to Add/Edit Zend Platform users. However, two conditions must be met:

  1. The master user adding new users must have administrative level permissions in the system.

  2. New users must be added to an existing group. Users are defined as belonging to a particular group - not as independent entities.

 

Note:

Zend Platform allows Administrator-level users to create new users.

 

To add a new user:

  1. Click the Add a New User button in the lower left corner of the User Management workspace. The Add a New User Wizard opens. Define the following General User Settings:

  2. User Name - Enter a User Name that the User will use when logging in to Platform.

  3. Password - Enter a Password that the User will use when logging in to Platform.

  4. Confirm Password - Confirm the Password.

  5. Permissions Group - Select the Permissions Group to which the New User will be assigned from the list of Permissions Groups that are currently defined in the system.

  1. Click Next to go to the second step. Select the servers that you wish to allow the New User to access.

  2. Click Finish.

The new user will be created in the database, with the defined permissions.

 

Note:

Added/Edited users can only view and edit events for the servers the User has permission to access. Conversely, servers denied to the User will not appear in the server tree when the User logs in to the system.

Editing a User

Zend Platform allows administrator-level users to edit the preferences for any User currently defined in the system. Non administrator users can use this option to modify their password.

To edit user preferences:

  1. Click the Edit button to the right of the user whose preferences you wish to edit.

  2. The Edit User Wizard opens with the user’s name appearing in the User Name field.

  3. In Edit User Wizard – Step 1, define the following General User Settings:

  4. Password - Enter a Password only if you wish to change the Password for that User; otherwise leave the Password field empty.

  5. Confirm Password - Confirm the Password only if you are changing the Password for the User.

  6. Permissions Group - Select the Permissions Group to which the User will be assigned from the list of Permissions Groups that are currently defined in the system.

  1. Click Next to go to the second step. In the Edit User Wizard (2) screen, select the servers that you wish to allow the User to access.

  2. Click Finish to register the changes to the User settings.
