Groups and Their Privileges
Chapter 13 Managing Privileged Users and Groups 399
When you installed Certificate Management System, it automatically created the
following groups for the subsystems you installed:
• Group for Administrators
• Groups for Agents
• Group for Trusted Managers
These default groups are created in the internal database of the appropriate CMS
instance. They can help you set up your privileged users quickly and easily.
You can add new privileged users to these groups; see “Setting Up Privileged
Users” on page 403. You cannot delete or change the group names. Also, don't
change the internal database in which the groups are stored.
Group for Administrators
During installation, Certificate Management System automatically creates a group
called
Administrators
and adds a user to this group; the server sets the name of
this user to the certificate administrator ID (of the CMS administrator) you specified
during installation. If you don’t remember this name, see the installation
worksheet you completed in preparation for installing the system (see
(“Administrator” on page 195). For example, if you specified
admin
as the user ID
for the CMS administrator, the name of the user in the
Administrators
group will
be
admin
.
Keep in mind that the
Administrators
group must always contain at least one
user entry. This means you can delete the entry that was created in this group
during installation, provided you add another user to the group.
After installation, be sure to do the following:
1.
Log in to the CMS window with the administrator ID and password specified
during installation.
2.
Depending on the components you installed, create one or more privileged
users and add them to the appropriate groups. It is recommended that you add
at least one more user to the
Administrators
group. For instructions on
creating privileged users and adding them to one or more groups, see “Setting
Up Privileged Users” on page 403.
