Admininstrative User Accounts Overview

The APADC is managed by APADC Admin Users. However, to allow the APADC admin user to connect to NME-APA devices and to apply configuration changes to the devices, you must create a mapping between the admin user and a user on the device to which the admin user can connect.

If you do not create a mapping between the APADC admin user and the NME-APA device user, the APADC admin user cannot connect to the NME-APA device.

Figure 6-1 illustrates the mappings that must be created between APADC admin users and NME-APA device users.

Figure 6-1 APADC Admin User Mapping

To create device users, admin users, and admin user mappings, perform the following steps:

•Create a device user. See Adding Device Users, page 2-20.

•Create an admin user. See Adding Administrative User Accounts. When creating the admin user you can also map the admin user to the device user.

•If you did not create the mapping when you created the admin user, add the device credentials for the admin user. See Adding Device Credentials for an Administrative User.

Viewing Administrative User Accounts

Step 1 In the Navigation pane, select Admin > Admin User Management.

The Admin User Management screen appears in the Configuration pane.
