The User Manager is one of several platform views, available only when connected to a remote Windows-based JACE. This view allows you to manage Windows OS user and group accounts local to that host (which otherwise would require accessing “Administrative Tools” in Windows on that host).
You need “admin-level” platform access in order to change any user settings. When connected to the platform via a “user-level” login, you can review settings, but none of the buttons in this view are available, nor are “drag and drop” actions possible. See levels of platform access for related details.
As shown in Figure 103 above, the view has two main sides.
-
Users are listed in a users table on the left side.
-
Groups are listed in a groups table the right side. In addition, a lower “membership” table shows all members of any currently selected group.
Buttons below each side provide popup dialogs in which you can add or delete a user or group, or change password for a selected user.
