User Accounts in Privilege Management Console

The Users page allows you to see and to interact with the users being managed by PMC.

Each user in PMC must exist in your authentication provider. Each user is assigned a role, which determines what actions they are allowed to perform in the PMC portal and Privilege Management MMC snap-in.

Click the Users icon on the Dashboard to manage user accounts.
