The Users Tab

This tab lets you create and manage Ivanti Endpoint Security users.

The tab displays user details and allows you remove, delete, create, and modify a user. This includes changing an assigned user role.

About Users

Users are names or titles that are used to log in to the Ivanti Endpoint Security Web console. Users can be defined as individuals (John Smith) or conceptual users (Quality Assurance Manager).

A user profile includes access credentials (user name and password) and the role assigned to the user. A user can be assigned only one role at a time, but multiple users can share a user role which defines the functions and pages that are available to them.

There are two methods of introducing users to the system: creating users and adding users.

Creating New Users: When a user is created, that user is added to both Ivanti Endpoint Security database and Windows. Additionally, new users assigned the Manage Users access right are added to the Windows Administrators group; without addition to this group, the user would be unable to modify other users.

Adding Existing Windows Users: You can grant existing Windows users (both local users and domain users) access to Ivanti Endpoint Security. Using this method, you can search Windows for existing users and add them to Ivanti Endpoint Security. Additionally, added users assigned the Manage Users access right are added to the Windows Administrators group; without addition to this group, the user would be unable to modify other users.

Microsoft IIS Web server software, used by Ivanti Endpoint Security, does not support user names or passwords in languages that require unicode characters (such as Korean or Kanji).

The Users Tab Toolbar

This toolbar contains buttons that let you create and manage users. The following table describes the function of each toolbar button.
