Add User

1. Log into the NMS
2. Go to Administration -> Access Configuration -> User Manager
3. Click on Add User
   • a. Name: your name
   • b. Surname: your surname
   • c. Email: your email
   • d. Username: your name
   • e. Authentication: SevOne
   • f. Password: any password
   • g. Confirm: any password
   • h. Role Assignments: your name
4. Save

You will see the User Management Page and see two options: LOCAL USERS or EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATION. In this lab, we will be creating "Local Users". Currently, two user accounts are configured: the admin user you used to log into SevOne.

Review

Log out and log in again using the new username that you have created to make sure you have access to SevOne with this new credential. The level of access between user Admin and your user will be very similar because we have given all the possible credentials to the new role.

You have now finished the administration lab and can move on to the next lab.
