Managing User Accounts

You add, edit, or remove users, specify passwords, and assign user roles to user accounts on the Users page in the ztC Endurance console​. You can also select a user and view the time when the user's password was last updated, and an administrator can force a selected user to change the user's password on the next login.

User roles are:

  • Administrator: full system administrator privileges
  • Platform Manager: system administrator privileges except for adding, removing, and modifying users
  • Read-only: ability to view but not to change system configuration or to install system software

For the procedures below, begin by opening the Users page: in the left-hand navigation panel, select Users under ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS.

  1. In the lower pane, click Add.
  2. In the Role drop-down window, select Administrator, Platform Manager, or Read-only.
  3. Enter values for the User Name, Email Address, First Name, Last Name, Password, and Confirm Password fields. User names may be from 1 to 64 characters long, and must include no white space. Passwords must conform to the Password Policy of the system. Click Save.
  1. Select the account you want to edit.
  2. In the lower pane, click Edit.
  3. Change the user's information, as necessary. For example, to change a user’s role, in the Role drop-down window, select Administrator, Platform Manager, or Read-only.
  4. Click Save.
  1. Select the user whose password you want to expire.
  2. Click Expire Password.
  3. Click Yes in the Confirm dialog box.
  1. Select the account to remove.
  2. Click Remove in the lower pane.
  3. Click Yes in the Confirm dialog box.
Notes:  
  1. You cannot delete the default admin account if it is the only administrator account, although you should change its name and password by editing the account.
  2. You must specify an email address for each user account, including admin, to enable the forgot-password feature. If a user account does not include an email address, and the user clicks the Forgot Password? link on the console login page, the system sends an email to user@example.com.
