Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide

2.3.2 Copying and customizing an existing user account

You can create a user account that has duplicate settings by copying an existing user account and saving it with a different user name.

Point:

When you copy an existing user account to create a new user account, the procedure also copies information defined in the source user account such as information about the Agents tree for monitoring.

To create a new user account by customizing an existing user account:

From the monitoring console browser, log on to PFM - Web Console.
Log on with a user account that has the administrator user permissions (for example, the default user account ADMINISTRATOR).

In the navigation frame of the Main window, choose the Users tab.
The Users window appears.

In the navigation frame of the Users window, select a source user account.
The selected user is marked with a checkmark.

Choose the Copy method in the method frame.
The Copy window appears.

Figure 2-2 Example of the Copy window

Specify the information for the Performance Management user account to be newly created.
Each item is populated with information of the source user account. If necessary, make changes for the following items:

User Name

Specify 1-16 characters. Characters that can be used include alphabetical characters (upper-case and lower-case), numeric characters, and symbols (! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ space). The system does not distinguish between upper- and lower-case characters.

If you enter spaces before or after the entered strings, the system deletes the spaces.

Password and Confirm password

Specify 1-16 characters. Characters that can be used include alphabetical characters (upper-case and lower-case), numeric characters, and symbols (! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ space). The system distinguishes between upper- and lower-case characters.

If you enter spaces before or after the entered strings, the system deletes the spaces.

Note:

Hitachi recommends that the password for Performance Management be six or more characters and include both alphanumeric characters and symbols. A confirmation message is displayed when an unsuitable password is entered such as one made up of only alphabetic characters or numeric characters, or one containing five characters or fewer. A message is also displayed when a password that is the same as the user name is entered.

Select permission level

Select the administrator user permissions or the general user permissions for the permission level of the new user account.

Click the OK button.
A newly created user account is added in the Performance Management Users tree.
