Adding a User

How to:

A new (non-administrative) user is automatically granted read and monitor permission for all existing configurations. An administrator can assign restart, stop, create, and delete rights for any user to any or all configurations.

Only an administrator (Power User) can create and delete user accounts. There is no concept of administrator hierarchy; therefore, a newly created administrator has the right to delete another user account, even if that user is an administrator. The system protects the last administrator from being deleted.

In a production environment, exercise caution in assigning user permissions. For example, it might be reasonable to allow developers to create configurations, but restrict them from deleting them, because the configurations they create might be used in production. Similarly, it might be appropriate to give some users permission to restart configurations, but not to stop them.
