Configuring user accounts and permissions on the Analyzer

This section discusses the following topics related to system access management:

• Analyzer user accounts and roles
• Adding or deleting a local account on the Analyzer and Collector
• Using LDAP authentication and authorization for the Analyzer or Collector
• Changing your user account password or settings

Access to the BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition web interface is limited to users with valid account credentials. An Administrator can give users access to the web interface by adding accounts for them. All roles except Export can access the web interface. Users with the Export role access the system via data export APIs.

You can manage BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition accounts locally or with you LDAP server. The system can handle both kinds of accounts simultaneously, so local and LDAP management are not mutually exclusive modes of operation.

To establish how the device authenticates and authorizes users, select the account-management model for the device.
