Adding a local account on the Console

You can add local accounts to the BMC Application Management Console that are authenticated by the system or by your LDAP server. 

To add a local account on the Console 

To perform this procedure, you must have Administrator-level access, or higher. Security users can assign any role to a new user. Administrators can assign any role except Security.

1. On the Console, point to System Access> Accounts.
2. On the Action menu, click Add Account.
3. In the Name box, enter the user name for the account, for example, MyOperator.
4. (Optional) In Email Address, enter the email contact information for the user.
5. In the Authentication Method list, select Local or LDAP.
   • If you select Local, the user is authenticated by the AM Console and you must enter user credentials in the password text boxes. 
   • If you select LDAP, the LDAP server authenticates the user, and the password text boxes are unavailable.  
6. In the Role list, select a role for this user. 
7. Click Save.
