czerewacz,

Thank you for the clarification. I am sorry to say that we only provide those 5 'built-in' accounts for NCM outside of using Windows accounts. Though you may not like the solution, would it be possible to create local user accounts on the Windows system for your users, like Mike? That would avoid your having to create AD accounts for them on the Domain Controller.

Sorry I couldn't give you the solution you wanted. I will report this to our Product Management team as an enhancement request.

Thank you,

Michael

czerewacz,

I think what you are looking for is on p.14 of the Administrator Guide:

Configuring User Access Control

Orion Network Configuration Manager provides role-based user access control to manage permissions for each user. User access control allows you to limit access to the application through enabling access control and through the assignment of the following access roles:

Administrator

Grants access to the entire Orion Network Configuration Manager application. All Web resources are available to this user role.

Engineer

Grants access to the Orion Network Configuration Manager application excluding the ability to create, modify, or delete user accounts, modify security settings, or alter device connectivity methods. All Web resources are available to this user role.

WebDownloader

Grants access to the Web Console, Download, and View Transfer Status operations. No access is grated to the native application installed on the Orion NCM server.

WebUploader

Grants access to the Web Console, Download, Upload, View Transfer Status, Execute Script, and Edit Config operations. No access is grated to the native application installed on the Orion NCM server.

WebViewer

Grants access to the Orion Network Configuration Manager Web Console only. No access is granted to the native application installed on the Orion NCM server.

Enabling User Access Control

Complete the following task to limit access to Orion NCM through the definition of application-based users and Windows Active Directory users.

To enable user access control:

1. Click File > Settings > Security.

2. Check Require a login to use Orion Network Configuration Manager.

3. If you want to assign device login credentials to user accounts, complete the following procedure:

a. Click Device Connectivity Method.

b. Click Manage devices using a combination of individual login credentials per device and user account device login credentials.

c. Click OK in the Warning window

4. Click OK in the Orion Network Configuration Manager Settings window.

Let me know.

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks Michael, but this is not my problem. I want to create i.e. one user called Mike but not in the windows and yes in the NCM.
I only see 5 NCM built in users ( Admin, Engineer, wevdown, etc) and i want to avoid create users in windows to grant access to the NCM. Do you know hot to do that?

Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
