Overview

This article explains how to configure user and group access permissions in JetPatch Manager. 

It covers adding local and domain users/groups, setting permissions and roles, and managing user access through enable/disable controls.

Adding Users and Groups

To enable JetPatch Manager to access a user or group, and to configure the user's or group's permissions:

• In the Users' Sections > Management

• Click Add User / Group:

  

• Select the authentication Type:

  

For a Domain user or group, the domain needs to have been specified.

• Do one of the following:

  • If you selected Local user, type the new user's details and credentials:

    

• If you selected Domain user or group, type a user account (in format <user>@<domain>, or <domain>\<user>, and click Validate to verify that the user is found in the domain:

• In the Permissions tab, either make the user an Administrator, or for a regular user, select Select Roles and apply roles as relevant (for minimal user permissions, leave all roles unselected):

1. Optionally, allow API access.

   If you selected Administrator, click Save, and you're done. Otherwise:

2. In the Server Scope tab, select smart groups whose endpoints should be visible and manageable by this user or group (or select All Servers):

   

• In the Agents tab, select management tools that this user or group should be able to configure services for and to provision:

  

• Click Save.

You can also remove or edit existing user accounts.

If the user is already logged in, changes won't take effect until the next login.

Enable / Disable User

Feature on the user's Tab (Switch Button) that would allow them to disable/enable users, AD users, and AD groups. This would allow them to configure who is allowed to log in to the console.

A user can log in only if it is enabled.
