Create New Users

You can create users in OpManager and provide required privileges to them. The option to create users is available only for the admin login account or those accounts which have 'Full Control' privilege. (The account with 'Full Control' privilege here refers to an Administrator user with access to all devices with all the AddOn Modules enabled.)

Administrator User: Administrator Users have unrestricted access to perform read/ write operations in OpManager. They add/remove devices, troubleshoot issues, change configurations and more without any limitations i.e they have complete access.

Operator User: Operator Users have read-only/ restricted access in OpManager. They can be granted further access by the Administrator User.

Custom User:  Custom User roles provide the customization of user access for different modules in OpManager. The different levels of access that can be provided in OpManager for users through Custom Roles include: Read/Write, Read and No Access. To learn how to create Custom User Roles, click here.

Note: (Applicable only for OpManager EE and OpManager Plus EE)

From version 126332, users created in the Central server will automatically sync with all probe servers. When creating a user in the Central UI, you can specify the probe servers where the user will have login access. The options are given below,

  • None: User is synced to all probes, but login access is disabled.
  • All probes: User is synced and granted login access on all probes.
  • Selected probes: User is synced to all probes, but login access is restricted to the selected probes only.

If a user with the same name already exists on a probe server, the synced username will be suffixed with "_noc", and login access to that specific probe will be disabled.
