Password

(Leave blank if LDAP is used.) Type the user's password (up to 64 characters).

NOTE: The format of passwords is governed by a password policy. The default policy dictates that a password must be from 5 to 31 characters long and can contain the lowercase letters a–z, uppercase letters A–Z, and digits 0–9. If the password you are trying to enter is rejected, contact the system administrator to determine the proper password requirements.

Confirm password

Retype the password to confirm.

Role

Select the user's role.

Best Practice for
assigning a role

Assign the user the least powerful role he or she needs.

Parent Group

(Not present if the selected role is System Administrator.) Enter the name of the highest-level group in the group hierarchy to be owned by this user. To select a group, double-click the Folder button to open the Assigned Groups dialog, from which you can navigate to and select a group. (Be sure to select the group's name, not its folder.)

NOTES:
1) Once you have added the user, you may assign him or her to additional groups, if needed. See Assigning a user as owner of additional groups.
2) When the user logs in, the context will be set automatically to the parent group you assigned. The user may edit his or her own User Profile to select a different group to which the context will be set upon login.
3) To set up whether or not the user will receive alerts for devices in an owned group, see the NOTE below this table.

NOTE: If you need to designate that the new user is to receive alerts for devices of an owned group, you must do so from the Manage groups task. On the Groups dialog, select the group. On the group's Owners tab, you will see listed all the owners of this group, with a read-only Receive Alerts check box. Click Add
