Define Users

From ServersCheck Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

A User enables you to define:

  1. Team alerts
  2. Logins

You can add as many users as needed for team alerting. However, if you would like to use separate logins and user rights, additional licenses are required. By default, a Professional user has only one login account: the main Administrator. Enterprise users have a main Administrator account and one configurable user login account. More accounts are available as a separate add-on. Click here to purchase more users.

Note: a dialog box is only shown when a connection is made from another computer to the ServersCheck computer. When connecting to http://localhost:1272 then ServersCheck assumes that the user is logged in as an Administrator. The realm indicates that there is an issue with the default settings until you have changed the default admin username and password to another value than "demo" / "demo"

Define Users

You need to be logged in as an Administrator in order to define a user. Click on the Manage option and then on Users to enter in the Editing Define Users page.

As explained above, a user account is used for team based alerting and optionally for separate login. Select a unique name for the user and click Save Settings.

After having saved the new user you are shown the list of defined users. Click the secure lock icon to edit the user profile.

In the following screen, you can define the settings of a user on several levels. Note that the security settings are linked to the login and that additional logs may be required. If you use users only for team alerting, then simply click the Save Settings button after having entered a name of a user.
