Creating an administrator account for the application web interface

The administrator account of the application web interface lets you manage the application, however, unlike the local administrator account of the application web interface, such accounts are not allowed to manage PCN and SCN servers or tenants in the Operation mode section.

To create an application web interface administrator account:

1. Log in to the web interface with the application administrator account.
2. In the window of the application web interface, select the Settings section, Users subsection.
3. Click Add.

   This opens the New user window.

4. To enable an account, turn on the Status toggle switch.

   By default, the account is enabled.

   If the user account is enabled, the user is allowed to gain access to the application web interface. If the user account is disabled, the user is prohibited from gaining access to the application web interface.

5. In the Role drop-down list, select Administrator.
6. Under Authentication type, select one of the following options:
   • KATA user account.

     In this case, to connect to the application web interface, the user must enter the user name and password that were configured when the account was created.

   • Domain user account.

     In this case, to connect to the application web interface, the user does not have to enter the user name and password; the user is authenticated with the domain account.

   The KATA user account and Domain user account fields are available if Active Directory integration is configured.

7. If you selected KATA user account:
   1. In the User name field, enter a user name for the account you want to create.

      The user name must meet the following requirements:

      • Must be unique in the list of user names (case-sensitive).
      • Must contain no more than 32 characters.
      • Can contain letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
      • Must begin with a letter (A–Z or a–z).
   2. In the New password field, enter a user password that will be used to access the web interface.

      The password must satisfy the following requirements:

      • Must not be the same as the user name.
      • Must not contain dictionary words, popular combinations of letters, or examples of a keyboard layout (for example, Qwerty or passw0rd).
      • Must contain at least 8 characters.
      • Must contain at least three types of characters:
        • Uppercase character (A–Z).
        • Lowercase character (a–z).
        • Number.
        • Special character.
   3. In the Confirm password field, re-enter the user password that will be used to access the web interface.
8. If you selected Domain user account, in the User name field, enter the user's domain name.
9. Click Add.

This will create an administrator account for the application web interface.

If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode, the administrator account of the PCN server web interface has access to the data of all organizations associated with that server.
