3.0 Managing Users

UNIX Agent Manager allows administrators to control user access to features and computers. To log into any UNIX Agent Manager server, an administrator on that server must create the user account in the UNIX Agent Manager Administrator Console, which is part of the UNIX Agent Manager console.

You can grant different permissions to each user account that allows access to only the features required by that user’s role. Permission sets allow you to simplify this process. Permission sets define product, computer, and feature access. Once you create a permission set, you can assign it to multiple user accounts with the same role.

For example, you can create a permission set that grants access to all Change Guardian functionality separate from Secure Configuration Manager functionality. You can then assign this permission set to all computers running Change Guardian. When you grant a new Change Guardian user access to a console, simply assign the user to the Change Guardian permission set to grant them access to the applicable features and computers.

To assign permissions, log into a UNIX Agent Manager console as an administrator and click Access Control > Admin Console. From there, add the users that need access to that UNIX Agent Manager server, then assign the appropriate permissions.
