User Administration and Account Policy
Choosing Administration > Account Management: User Administration displays the User Administration and Account Policy page providing controls for creating and managing user accounts for AppResponse 11.
◼ Local Users tab — Create and manage individual user accounts, including the roles with which they’re associated.
◼ Roles and Permissions tab — Create and manage the profiles that specify the activities to which associated users have Read or Write privileges.
◼ Password Policy tab — Configure global login and password policies for all user accounts.
When the set of user account definitions or user roles has been selected in the Portal Integration page to be managed solely from SteelCentral Portal, the User Administration and Account Policy page in AppResponse 11 will display a message stating that those objects are being managed from the portal, and cannot be edited using AppResponse 11.
