Top Previous Next

The Add User Wizard will guide you through creating users. Just follow the steps that are explained below:

1)	Select the privilege level for the user. The first user that is created in the database must have full administrative privileges in the OpsCenter system (only a user will full privileges can add/edit/delete users). Subsequent users can be assigned any privilege level.

2)	Enter the name and other information about the user. The user name must be unique. If the user name already exists, you will be forced to change it.

Set the global group memberships for the user. The group "All" is the only predefined global group. All users are automatically added to this group. If other global groups have been set up in the database, they will be listed and you will be able to add the user to groups as desired. User groupings can be modified at any point in the future.

4)	Click "Finish" and the user will be created in the database.

Once at least one user exists in the database, you will receive the "Set Default User" dialog where you can set the default user for the local computer. Additional users can be added by clicking the "Add New User" button which will repeat the Add User Wizard. You can optionally select the default user from the list and when you click "OK," the OpsCenter client will start up and log in as that default user.

Depending on the default startup settings, the OpsCenter may load directly to the system tray. Just click on the OpsCenter status icon in the system tray to maximize the program window. As a user with full administrative privileges, you will have access to the "Admin Controls" menu option. Under this menu option is the "Manage Users" control. Go ahead and add the remaining user names for the rest of the users who will be using the OpsCenter system.
