IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Edit a user ID

After a user has been added to the Users list in the Administer Users window, you can check and edit the profile settings at any time.

To use this function, your user ID must have Modify permission for User Administration.


Use the following steps to edit a user ID:


Procedure

  1. Click Administer Users.

  2. Do one of the following in the Users list:

    • Click inside the Name or Description field to edit either of them.

    • Double-click anywhere in a row to open the Modify User window for editing any of the fields.

    • Right-click the user profile you want to edit and click Modify User.

  3. Edit the User Name, Distinguished Name or User Description, then click OK. Distinguished Name is required if user authentication is through the portal server to an LDAP user registry. You cannot change the one-word User ID other than to change the letter casing. To edit the one-word User ID, delete the user profile and create a new one.

    • If you have not yet added the DN, click Find to locate the name that matches the user ID.
      If your monitored environment was previously configured for authentication through the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and then reconfigured to authenticate through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, you might see two entries for the name. Select the one where o=defaultWIMFileBasedRealm and not O=DEFAULTWIMITMBASEDREALM.

  4. To change the Permissions, select a function from the Authorities tree and select or clear each option as appropriate for all functions with permissions that you want to change. You can change your own user permissions except Create and Modify for User Administration

  5. To assign access privileges to applications (managed system types), click the Applications tab, select any applications you want to remove from the Allowed Applications list and move them to the Available Applications list; select the applications you want to add from the Available Applications list (or select <All Applications>), and move them to the Allowed Applications list.

    After selecting the first application, you can use Ctrl+click to select other applications or Shift+click to select all applications between the first selection and this one.

  6. To change any Navigator view assignments, click the Navigator Views tab, then add or remove Navigator views from the Assigned Views list, and select and move the one to be the default to the top of the list. For each Navigator view, change the Assigned Root as needed.

  7. When you are finished editing the user profile, save your changes with Apply if you want to keep the Administer Users window open, or OK if you want to close it.


Results

The next time the user logs on, the permission changes will be in effect.
