Setting Up and Managing Users in MMC

This page takes you through the basics of setting up users via the Management Console. Refer to Managing MMC Users and Roles for information on setting user groups and assigning permissions.

This page describes adding and managing users via the Management Console. You can also add and manage users using LDAP, but note that once you enable authentication through LDAP, the Users link is no longer available in the Management Console. See Setting Up and Managing Users via LDAP for more information.

Keep in mind that once the user joins a group, that user has the permissions granted to that group or groups. Use the right angle bracket (>) to move the selected role to Joined Groups.

    The default groups are Administrators, Deployers, Monitors, and Server Administrators. If you need to create more groups or roles, see Managing MMC Users and Roles.
