Add a User Account
Before you begin
You must have Administrator permission to add user accounts.
Each person must have a user account to access and manage a Nimble array group. The Administrator controls a user's access to the group by assigning a specific role to each user.
At a minimum, each user account must have a:
- username
- full name
- role
- inactivity timeout interval
Optional. A user account can also have a:
- description
- email address
You can include these options when you create the user account or you can add them later.
Note: In the GUI, the inactivity
timeout interval set for the group is automatically applied to all user accounts. To
set a shorter interval for a user, edit the user account.
You can set the timeout to a limit lower than the group timeout but not higher than the group timeout limit.
