Adding and deleting a user

Users must have a role assigned on the cluster before they can perform any management tasks.

To add a cluster user

1. In the Cluster:Users view, in the Configuration task panel, click Add a user.
2. In the New User wizard, specify the following new user details and then click Next:
   • The new user name.
   • If the target cluster is not configured in secure mode, you must also specify a password for the new user and confirm it.
3. In the Assign Privileges dialog box, specify the following options and then click OK:
   • The role

     The available roles for a cluster user are Cluster Administrator, Cluster Operator, Group Administrator, or Group Operator. You can select more than one, but be aware that some option combinations are redundant.

   • The objects to which the role grants authority

     To begin this procedure, you selected a single cluster from a Clusters Listing table. If you select a role of Cluster Administrator or Cluster Operator, you have already specified the object to which the user's role applies. You are not required to specify anything more, so the service group selection boxes are unavailable.

     If you select Group Administrator or Group Operator, you must select at least one service group. To select a service group, click a service group name under Available Groups and then click the right-arrow button. To reject a service group, click a name under Selected Groups and then click the left-arrow button to return it to Available Groups.

     Note   This procedure does not validate the user account. For a cluster that is configured in secure mode, the account is assumed to exist on the domain. For a cluster that is not configured in secure mode, the account is assumed to exist on the cluster.

To delete a cluster user

1. In the Cluster:Users view, in the Delete column of the Users table, click the X button at the end of the line item corresponding to the user that you want to delete.
2. In the Delete User dialog box, click OK to confirm that you want to delete the selected user.

   Note   You cannot delete the user account that is currently logged in.
