2.3.3 Creating a user account

In Performance Management, an account called Performance Management user is used for managing the Performance Management system, and an account called JP1 user is used for managing with JP1/Base.

The following procedures describe how to create a Performance Management user account in order to manage the Performance Management system.

There are three types of Performance Management users:

• Administrator user permissions

• General user permissions

• Business group ordinary users^#

#

Available only when the access control function based on business groups is enabled.

The available functions for each PFM - Web Console window depend on the permission. For details about the permissions and on the access control function based on business groups, see the chapter that describes management of user accounts and business groups in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.

A Performance Management user account is created from the Users window in PFM - Web Console. The following example shows how to create a Performance Management user account called INT_ADMIN with administrator user permissions.

To create a user account with the administrator user permissions:

1. In the navigation frame of the Main window, select the Users tab.

2. In the method frame of the Users window, select the New User method.

3. In the New user window, for User Name, enter INT_ADMIN.

4. Set any password for Password and Confirm password.

   Note:

   We recommend that Performance Management passwords contain six or more characters and include alphanumeric characters and symbols. A confirmation message is displayed if you enter a password that is made up of only alphabetic characters, numeric characters, or five characters or fewer. A message is also displayed when you enter a password that is the same as your user name.

5. In Select permission level, select Management user.

6. Click the OK button.

   The created user account is added in the Performance Management user level in the navigation frame.

7. Click Logout in the menu bar frame to temporarily log off of PFM - Web Console.

8. Log on using the INT_ADMIN user account.
