## User Management in central server

In Network Configuration Manager, any user/admin added to the central server will be automatically added to the individual probe servers by default. These users will be allowed to manage devices for all the probes from the central server as well as log into individual probes to manage devices.

In order to define the scope for each of these users added to the central, Network Configuration Manager allows the admin to allow/restrict users from logging into individual probes.

## User Management Operations

Administrators can add any number of users to the central server and define the scope for each of these users. By going to **User Management >> Users** from the central, an administrator can:

- View all the existing users
- Create new users
- Change the access control for users
- Delete an existing user

## Viewing existing users

Go to **User Management >> Users**. The list of users will be displayed with respective login names, access controls and email IDs.

## Adding new users

2. In the **User Details** tab, provide the user role, login credentials and contact details, and click on **Next**.

In the **Probes** tab, you can choose to allow/restrict the user to log in to specific probe(s).

- If **All Probes** are allocated, the user will be allowed to manage all the devices centrally and log into all the individual probes as well.
- If **Selected Probes** are allocated, those users will be allowed to log into the specific probes allocated to them and will not be able to log into the rest. However, the user can still manage individual probes from the Central Server.
- If **None** is given, the users will only be able to manage probes from central but will be barred from logging into individual probes.

## Editing existing users

1. Go to **User Management >> Users**.
2. In the UI that opens, click on the respective username.
3. Change the access control and probes for the user as desired and click **Save**.

**Note:** A user in central cannot change the probe scope for himself/herself even if he/she is an admin.

## Deleting existing users

1. Go to **User Management >> Users**.
2. In the UI that opens, click the delete icon present against the respective username. The user will be removed from the central server and will not be able to manage devices from the central.

**Note:** If any user is added to the Central Server, editing/deleting that user from the individual probe can be done only from the central and the user cannot be removed by logging into the individual probes.
