About user profiles and user accounts
Users who attach to a
Global Manager
, whether
through the Global Console, the web console, or a web browser, must
have a user account. Each user account, in turn, is associated with
a user profile. A user profile defines the console operations a user
can perform, the tools the user can invoke, and the notifications
displayed to the user. The provides
detailed information about user profiles.If a user attaches
to a
Global Manager
using both the Global Console and a web browser, the same user profile
can apply for both connections.When you save a viewlet, you
can save it to a user’s directory or a user profile directory. In
both cases, the directory is located in the
BASEDIR
/smarts/local/consoles
directory on the host where the Global Manager
is
running. Dashboard viewlets saved to a user’s directory are only accessible
to that user. The name of a user’s directory is the same as the username.
Dashboard viewlets saved to a user profile directory are accessible
by any user associated with that user profile. The name of the user
profile directory is the same as the user profile name.You
must create the user profiles and user accounts before you can save
a viewlet to a user’s directory or a user profile.
