About Users and User Roles

Users are defined in the zCenter services portal, with credentials stored in the applicable corporate identity provider (IdP).

A User has zero or more defined User Roles; a User Role is a tag signifying group membership.  Access Policies use User Roles to grant access to Applications or Services.

Users and User Roles have global scope, and once defined can granted access across multiple App Profiles.

Before you begin

Users are associated with your selected identity provider, so ensure that you have configured your IdP before you begin creating Users.

Creating a User Role

To create a User Role, navigate to Onboarding and Management > User Roles and click "Create Role".  This brings up a dialog allowing you to specify a User Role.

Creating a User and assigning User Roles

From Onboarding and Management > Users, click "Onboard User". This brings up a window where you can create a user as shown below:

To use the external identity provider, ensure that "Authentication Type" is set to "External".

You may associate a user with a specific client device (defined by hostname / MAC address) to require that the user use that device when logging in.

Deleting a User

To delete a user, simply click on the trash can icon  corresponding to the user to be deleted.
