Add, Copy, Modify User Profile

Use this window to manage user profiles for the Hardware Management Console by:

When you click Add..., Copy..., or Modify... for a user profile, type a user ID and description.

Users who remotely authenticate through Kerberos must have their profiles set appropriately. You must set the user profile of each remotely authenticated Kerberos user to use Kerberos remote authentication instead of local authentication. A user that is set to use Kerberos remote authentication will always use Kerberos remote authentication, even when the user logs in to the HMC locally.

Note: You do not need to set all users to use Kerberos remote authentication. You can set some user profiles so that the users can use local authentication only.

For security reasons, remotely authenticated Kerberos users cannot lock the local console.

Select Local Authentication or Kerberos Authentication.

Then select one or more available Managed Resource Roles to designate the access permissions and one Task Role.
