Admin Console Users

The Users window is only for user accounts that need access to the Admin Console.

Here we'll cover the basic ways to add the Admin Console user types:

Users

The root account is the first account created in the instance and can only be updated, not removed. There are two types of accounts you can create, Administrator and Non-Administrator accounts. Once you create accounts, you can also update the password for the root and local user accounts, and set / modify role assignments. LDAP / AD and IdP user information only changes if it is updated within the identity provider, but you still assign product roles for them in the Users window.

Users Section

The Users section shows the following in a table format:

  • Username — for Local accounts, it shows the username you entered. for LDAP and IdP accounts, it shows the source (LDAP / IdP) username.
  • Role Type — shows the role assigned to the user. For details about the user roles and permissions see Role-Based Access Control.

  • Folder — shows the folder or printer object they are assigned.

    Non-Administrator Users can have multiple role assignments to different locations in the tree. For example, they can be a site manager for one folder and a deploy manager for a different folder.
