Managing users

An important early task when you get started with GuardiumĀ® Data Security Center is to identify the users who will access the service. The User management page allows you to add individuals in your organization to Guardium Data Security Center and configure their access privileges.

Before you begin

All Guardium Data Security Center users must have an IBM account. An IBMid can be created by accessing this link: https://www.ibm.com/account/reg/us-en/signup?formid=urx-19776

To see the various settings, open the main menu. Open this menu by clicking the main menu icon (main menu). After opening the menu, choose User management.

About this task

Use the following procedure to add a user and assign roles.

Procedure

  1. Click Invite user.
  2. Enter the first name, last name, and IBMid email address of the user that you want to add. Then, click Next.
  3. Select the roles that should apply to the user.
    Note: You cannot assign a user to both the Administrator and Access manager roles. A user can only be assigned to one of these roles.
  4. Click Save to add the user.
    Note: The user Status is displayed as Invited after they are added. When the user logs on to Guardium Data Security Center, they become active. Access privileges are granted to the user based on the roles that have been assigned to them.
  5. Optional: After users are added, use the kebab menu next to each user to view details, edit roles, or delete the user.

    • Edit roles: View the current roles that are assigned to the user and select different roles, as needed, and then click Change.
    • Delete: Remove the user's access to Guardium Data Security Center.
    Note: If you need to update your user information beyond what is available at the User management page, contact IBM support.
