Create a User

A user account associates a resource group with a role. To enable a user to log on to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and use its functions, you must first add the user to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus as a native user or as part of an imported group of LDAP users, then assign resource groups and roles to the user account. The account will have access to the resources and features defined in the resource group as well as the permissions to interact with the resources and features defined in the role.

Note: If upgrading from a previous version of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, permissions assigned to users in the previous version must be reassigned in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.1.
