In order for users to access SQL Inventory Manager, you need to grant them access. Additionally, if they want to receive alert emails, you have to enable this option for each user and type the email addresses where they will receive these notifications.
To add new users, edit their details (name, subscription or email address), or remove them, go to the following options on the Administration tab:
- Manage Users in the Users section
- Manage Subscriptions For All Users in the Alert Emails section
When you open any of these two alternatives, a new window opens with the following options:
- Add User
- Edit User
- Remove User
On this window you can see a list of all registered users with their respective email addresses and if they are subscribed to alerts.
Add User
You need to add users in order to give them access to SQL Inventory Manager. To add users, follow these steps:
- Type the name of the user you want to have access to SQL Inventory Manager. You should enter a Windows user name in the following format: <domain\user>. SQL Inventory Manager uses Windows authentication to validate users.
- Assign a role to this user. Users can be Administrators, Users, Guests. For more information about user roles, click here.
- Check the respective box if you want this user to receive alert emails for critical issues.
- Type the respective email address where you want the user to receive alert emails.
- Click SAVE.
- You should provide the new user with the following URL: http://<ServerName>:9276 (where ServerName is the name of the machine on which you installed the SQL Inventory Manager services).
Users must be existing Active Directory users. Newly added users should use their Windows user account with their respective passwords to log in to the SQL Inventory Manager.
