Managing users

The management of users is reserved for the administrator user from the organization that is registered for IBM® Cloud Management Console for Power Systems™ services.

If you have a valid ID and you are registered as the administrator user for your organization in the IBM Cloud Management Console for Power Systems portal, you can add users for your organization, and configure access permissions for applications. You can also modify and delete users.

You can manage users from the Settings page. To view the Settings page, click the navigation menu icon () in the portal header, and then click the Settings icon (). In the Settings page, click the Users and Security > Manage Users tab to view all users who are configured for your organization.

You can add both administrator users and users without administrator privileges for your organization. The administrator can access all applications that are enabled for the organization. The application palette displays the applications that a user can access. Users without administrator privileges have limited access to specific applications. Before you add a user for your organization, it is important to identify users based on the tasks they need to perform so that you can limit users to specific applications that are available in the portal. For example, you might want to allow a user to access the Inventory and Patch Planning applications, but not the other applications that are available in the portal. The user that you want to add must have a valid IBM ID that is registered with the portal.

To add a user, complete the following steps:

1. Click Add User.
2. In the Add New User pane, enter a valid IBM ID and email address.
3. Select the resource role from the menu list.
4. Set the switch to ON for the applications that you want the user to access, and then click Save.
5. To assign administrative privileges to the new user, set Admin to ON.
   Administrator users can grant non-admin users read-only access to the Enterprise Pool 2.0 application. To do this, assign the “All Resources” resource role to the user and switch the EP 2.0 toggle to ON.

Note: To learn about the tasks that this new non-admin user can perform, see Non-admin user access to EP 2.0.

To delete a user, in the Actions column, click the Delete User icon () corresponding to the user that you want to delete. Similarly, to modify user privileges, in the Actions column, click the Edit User icon () corresponding to the user that you want to modify. You can modify the access permissions for the applications, and assign or remove the administrator privilege, if any.

To assign new resource role to a user, in the Actions column, click the Edit User Resources icon () corresponding to the user that you want to assign new resource role. In the Edit User Resource window, choose the specified resource role from the drop-down list and click Save, to  change the role that is assigned to a user.

Note: If you are the administrator user for your organization, you cannot remove your administrative privileges or delete your account.

 

Important: To assign a new resource role to a non-admin user who currently has the “All Resources” resource role and read-only access to EP 2.0, you must first revoke the access to EP 2.0.
