User Manager

This documentation applies to NMS version 5.4. An online version of the software can be found here.

The User Manager enables you to manage user information, credentials, and user role assignments. You define user permissions and device permissions from the User Role Manager. When you are a user who is assigned to a role that has the Can Create Users User Permission, you can manage the information for the users that are assigned to the roles to which you have User Edit permission.

To access the User Manager from the navigation bar, click the Administration menu, select Access Configuration, and then select User Manager.
