The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter provides information on the user management tasks that administrators can perform in the Cisco Connected Grid Design Suite (CGDS) - Substation Workbench Monitor (CGDS Monitor).
Administrators have the capabilities to create users for accessing the CGDS Monitor. In addition, administrators can modify and delete the user details.
When you install the CGDS Monitor, an admin user (administrator) is created by default. The admin user creates other users by adding them to the WSO2 Identity Server Management Console (Management Console) and by assigning the administrative privileges, if necessary. The users can log in to the CGDS Monitor and perform tasks based on the permissions that are assigned.
Apart from creating users, administrators can modify the following user details:
•User password—To reset the user password.
•Role—To assign the administrative privileges to users, or to remove the administrative privileges from them.
•User profile—To change the user details, such as username, email address, contact address, and so on.
In addition, administrators can delete the existing users from the application.
