Assigning or modifying user access roles

The first time you assign an access role to an administrator or user, OpsCenter generates a password file and enables access control. Authentication is required to access OpsCenter for viewing objects and performing tasks.

1. Run the set_passwd.py utility.
   For example, to create user johndoe with admin role privileges:

   
   $ python /usr/share/opscenter/bin/set_passwd.py johndoe admin
   
   Please enter a password  for 'johndoe'.
   Password:
   

2. After configuring authentication, restart OpsCenter.
   $ service opscenterd restart
   Restarting is required only when you create the first user (because it enables access control). No restart is required for adding, modifying, or removing users.
