Adding Console Users

Creating Console users for accessing Console.

A Console user is an Aspera Console login account with customizable access permissions. Except for administrator accounts, Console user permissions are managed through the group assignment. A Console user inherits the permissions from the groups the user belongs to.

Note:

A Console user is not directly related to the login account to a node.

To create a Console user, follow these steps:

Add a new Console user

Select Users from the Console menu. All user management options can be found here.

In User Maintenance, click New User.

Under User Information, enter the account details in the specified fields. When finished, click Create.

Important:
All activity on the Console is displayed with the time and date in the user's time zone.
Assign the user to Console groups

After the Console user has been created, the Accounts page opens. On this page, you can assign the user to groups from which the user can inherit transfer-path permissions. To assign the user to a group, select a group from the dropdown menu, and click Add. The added group then appears in the table below.

You can review the Console user's transfer permissions in the lower section of this page. All transfer paths accessible to this user are listed in this table.

Once the Console user account is created, users can log in to Console with the account credentials. To deactivate this account or make other changes to it, go to the Accounts page and select the Users tab. In the list of all Console users that appears, locate the account you want to change:

To deactivate or reactivate the account, change it to a Console administrator, or modify any of the basic account information, click the edit link.
To modify transfer permissions, click the permissions link and modify which groups the user is a member of.
To remove a Console user from the system, click delete.
