| Understand Users, Groups, and Roles | Understand how up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor manages users and user access, by examining the two default users. | 1 slice |
| Create a New User Group | Create a user group that includes one of the existing default users, and assign it to the Web Servers Element Group you created in the previous module. | 1 slice |
| Edit an Existing User's Profile | Edit a user's User Group membership. | 1 slice |
| Create a View | Add your first View to up.timeUptime Infrastructure Monitor, and associate it with a User Group. Log in as that end user to see what that user can see when using up.timeUptime Infrastructure Monitor. | 1 slice |
Understand Users, Groups, and Roles
As mentioned previously, user management in up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the intersection of individual user profiles, user roles, and user groups. this arrangement of user-related objects is particularly useful for larger deployments, where a diverse and large set of users want to access up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor for different reasons. For this exercise and module, we keep the steps simple, but explain what could be done with a larger deployment.
...
In this list, you can see that up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor has two default users (admin, or "up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Administrator" and sample, or "Sample User"). Each one is assigned to its own user role (superadmin, and user), but both belong the same SysAdmin User Group:
...
To get an idea of which activities in up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor are determined by user role, view the permissions for the user role by clicking its name in the User Role column:
...
Let's work with this pair of default up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor users, and make them match completely unique personas. They already each are associated with their own role; let's put them in unique user groups.

Even though this created View is strictly for users that are members of the Linux Admins user group, and you are currently logged in as an administrator that is not a member, the View is still visible. An up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor administrator, who has the superadmin user role, is still able to view everything. |
...
Using Views in conjunction with user roles and user groups can accommodate a diverse set of end users that have access to view, add, edit, or delete the correct Elements or up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor objects.
Before moving to the next module, log in as the admin user (the ID and password were set when the Monitoring Station was first run after installation).
