15. In the Data format field, select the appropriate data format for the pager from the dropdown list. This
field does not apply to user groups.

the New User section open, click Apply, or to cancel the creation of this user, click Cancel.
Adding user groups
User groups must exist in the operating system. For Windows, they must also exist in Active Directory.
Members of user groups in the operating system can sign-in to HP SIM and inherit the group's attributes for
configuration rights, sign in IP address restrictions, and authorizations. When a group's configuration rights,
sign in IP address restrictions, or authorizations are changed, this change is immediately reflected for all
current members of the group.
To create a new user group:
1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users, and then click New Group. The
New User Group section appears.
2. In the Group name (on central management server) field, enter the operating system group name
to be used for signing in to HP SIM. This field is required.
3. If the Central Management Server (CMS) is running a Windows operating system, in the Domain
(Windows domain for login name) field, enter the Windows domain name for the group .
4. In the Full name field, enter the full name for the group. This name appears in the table under the
Users tab.
5. In the Copy all authorizations of this user or [template] field, select a template or sign in that already
has the predefined authorizations that you want to assign to the group you are creating.
6. 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.
7. 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 are ignored. Spaces are
not allowed within a single IP address in the dotted decimal notation. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user
from logging in through a remote system.
Important: If browsing from the CMS, ensure all IP addresses of the CMS are properly included. If
browsing to localhost, ensure the loopback address 127.0.0.1 is also included.
8. In the Exclusion ranges field, enter the IP address of the systems that should be excluded from
management by this user or user group. Use the same format as in the previous step for Inclusion
ranges. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user from logging in through a remote system.
9. To save and close the New User Group section, click OK. To save and keep the New User Group
section open, click Apply, or to cancel to close the New User Group section without saving the new
group, click Cancel .
Adding toolboxes
Create a toolbox to configure a group of tools to which a user has access.
To add a toolbox:
1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Toolboxes, and then click New. The New
Toolbox section appears.
2. In the Name field, enter a name for the new toolbox. This field is required.
3. In the Description field, enter a description for the toolbox.
4. To enable the toolbox and all authorizations created with this toolbox, select Toolbox is enabled.
