Editing user accounts and user groups
In the event a user account or user group must be modified, you can edit it from the Users tab on the Users
and Authorizations page.
NOTE: If a group's configuration rights or sign-in IP address restrictions are changed, these changes are
immediately applied to all current members of the group. If a group name is edited, none of its current
members are affected, other than displaying the new group name.
NOTE: A group-based user account can be edited only to convert to an individual user account and is
not reversible.
To edit a user account or user group:
1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users.
2. Select the user or user group you want to edit, and then click Edit. The Edit User or Edit User Group
section appears.
3. Change the appropriate setting.
Note: Steps d through e and i through m do not apply to user groups.
a. (Required) In the Sign-in name [on central management server(CMS)] field, enter the operating
system login account name to be used to sign-in to HP SIM. This field is required.
Note: The user cannot sign-in to HP SIM if the account is not a valid login. The account is not
validated until the user attempts to sign-in to HP SIM.
b. (Optional) In the Domain (Windows® domain for sign-in name) field, enter the Windows
domain name for the login name if the CMS is running a Windows operating system. If left blank,
the CMS system name is used as the domain.
Note: If the user account was migrated from Insight Manager 7, the Domain (Windows® domain
for login name) field associates a placeholder domain with the user. If the user receives pages,
this field must be edited to include a valid domain on your network.
c. (Optional) In the Full name field, enter the user's full name.
d. (Optional) If you are using Windows, in the Phone field of the Pager Information section, enter
the pager phone number. If the Phone number field is left blank, the paging information is not
saved. This field does not apply to user groups..
e. (Optional) In the E-mail address field, enter the user's e-mail address.
f. For user accounts that must be able to create, modify, or delete other accounts in the Central
management server security configuration right section, select User can configure CMS
security access such as creating, modifying or removing other users. If you selected an
existing user with administrative rights or the administrator template in the previous step, this option
is automatically selected.
g. Under the Sign-In IP Address Restrictions section, in the Inclusion ranges field, enter the IP
addresses of the systems you want this user to be able to use as a client browsing this CMS. If you
list multiple IP addresses, separate them with a semicolon (;). Each range is a single IP address or
two IP addresses separated by a dash (-). The IP addresses must be entered in the standard dotted
decimal notation, for example, 15.1.54.133. Any spaces surrounding the semicolons or dashes
