Adding User Accounts
The following information is configured when a user account is created:
• Whether the user will be authenticated using the DSView internal authentication or an external
authentication server.
• The user groups in which the user will be included. Each user group contains specific access
rights that allow a user to perform specific actions.
• The preemption level for interrupting or disconnecting serial or KVM sessions. See
Preemption Levels on page 20 for more information.
NOTE: You must have DSView software administrator or user administrator rights to add a user. See Managing
User-Defined User Groups on page 150 for more information.
To add a user account:
1. From a User Accounts window, click the Add button. The Welcome window of the Add User
Account Wizard will appear. Click Next .
2. The Select Authentication Service window will open.
This window lists all external authentication servers and the DSView Internal server that may
be used to authenticate users when they log in. See

page 53 for more information.

JDoe, jdoe, JDOe and so on.
Passwords may contain 3-64 characters. Passwords will never expire unless User must
