Tasks Available on This Screen
On this screen, users can do one thing: create a new user.
To create a new user:
- Fill in the following fields:
- Name
- Username
- Phone
- Department
- Password (and Confirm it): Passwords must contain at least 6 case-sensitive characters and numbers, and no spaces or quotation marks.
- Email and its Format (HTML or plain text)
- SMS Address: An email-to-SMS gateway email address for the user's SMS device. For a cellular phone on the Cingular network, this might look like 4155551212@mobile.mycingular.com. Check with the service provider for details about an email-to-SMS configuration. Basic alert notification sent to this user's SSS address will be in long format, which can result in up to five separate messages on the SMS device each time notification is sent by HQ. Hyperic recommends that SMS alerting be used in conjuction with escalation, not basic alert notification, but short format is used there.
- In Enable Login, specify whether the user can log in or not.
- Click
.
On the ensuing "Assign Roles to User" screen *, users can click to create the user without assigning it to any role. If not assigned to a role, the user will not be able to see any resources.
