Maintaining User Details

In the Sentinel EMS Users tab (User Management > Users), you can view the details of all currently defined users and perform the following tasks:

>Define Sentinel LDK users

>Change user details and passwords

>Control user access

>Associate users with roles

>Associate users with market groups. For details on market groups, see the Sentinel EMS User Guide for Sentinel LDK.

Defining Sentinel LDK Users

Before you start to define Sentinel LDK users, ensure that you have the following information for each new user:

>The user name to be assigned to the user for the purpose of logging in to Sentinel LDK.

>The password to be assigned to the user.

>The user's email address.

>The namespaces that the user is authorized to access.

>The roles to assign to the user. For additional information on the functions authorized for each role, see User Types and User Roles in Sentinel EMS.

Changing User Details and Passwords

After you have defined a user, you can change any of the user’s details.

Users can change their own passwords. If needed, you can change the password for a user without knowing the current password. This is useful if a user loses or forgets their password.

Controlling User Access

In certain circumstances, you may want to prevent a user from logging in to Sentinel LDK. If the user has left the company, for example, or will no longer be using Sentinel LDK, you can delete the user details.

You can prevent or allow a user to access Sentinel LDK by clearing or selecting the Login Allowed check box.
