Managing Local User Accounts

You add, edit, or remove users, specify passwords, and assign User Roles to local-user accounts on the User & Groups page in the everRun Availability Console.

Local user accounts reside on the everRun system itself, as opposed to a central domain server. You can find local accounts on the Users & Groups page by looking for entries labeled Local User in the Type column.

2. In the top pane, click Add.
3. In the Role drop-down window, select Administrator, Platform Manager, or Read-only.
4. Provide values for the User Name, Password, Email Address, and Real Name fields. User names and passwords may be from 1 to 64 characters long, and must include no white space.
5. Click Save.

To edit a user account

1. In the lower left-hand panel, select Users & Groups.
   
2. In the top pane, click Edit.
