Users with certain privileges get other privileges automatically. These implied rights are indicated on the Edit account page as grey checks in the permission field. It is not possible to remove an implied permission except to take away the controlling permission first.
Plug-in rights that are user based must be assigned per user account. Plug-in licenses that are assigned per user have a checkbox. A checkmark means the user can use the plug-in module. Plug-ins available to all users appear with an 'X' in the table.
Use the Accessible Server field to restrict a user to a subset of servers in a multi-server, non-enterprise server hierarchy. From the pull-down list, select the top server of the branch the user may access. Accounts with no restrictions (the default) have access to all branches. Access restrictions are inherited from the administrator creating the user account.
If the CTRM license is installed, the Radar Group ID field exists for each user and group entry. This value is assigned by Radar to identify the user group or customer site the user has access to.
A password must be defined when creating a user account. By default, the password entered when creating a user account does not expire. To create a temporary account, or to force password renewals, make the password expire after a specified number of days or logins, or require that the user change the password the first time they log in. The Revalidated By field selects whether or not the user can change an expired password (Password Change) or the Administrator must do it (Admin Only).
When you click on Save to complete the account, a summary page appears showing the data you entered. If you copied an existing account's filters and profile into the new account, a list of filters for that user will be displayed. Click on Back to List to continue.
