This chapter explains the user accounts used in Resource Orchestrator.
Overview
Managing user accounts in Resource Orchestrator prevents unsafe operations by unauthorized users, resulting in safer system administration.
User accounts are categorized into the following user types:
User Types | Authority Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
Privileged User | Manage | Can perform all operations on resources. |
General User | Monitoring | Can only perform resource monitoring. |
It is required to create at least one privileged user. The creation of general users is optional and depends on your own administration policy.
User accounts consist of the following:
User name
Password
Authority level ("Manage" or "Monitor")
These Resource Orchestrator user accounts differ from the operating system user accounts on the admin server.
Refer to "A.2.1 List of Menus" in the "User's Guide VE" for information on the functions that these user accounts can execute.
