Adding users
Perform the following steps to add users to the NetBackup Flex Scale cluster. Before you proceed, ensure that you have reviewed the considerations for user management in a NetBackup Flex Scale cluster.
See Considerations for managing NetBackup Flex Scale users.

The User management pane displays all the users that currently exist in the cluster configuration.
- To add a new user, click Add.
- In the Add new user dialog box, specify the following parameters:

Assign 'Appliance administrator' role
Select this option to assign the NetBackup Flex Scale Appliance Administrator user role to the user account. You must assign a role for the user to be able to sign in to the cluster using the UI.
This user role has the permissions to manage all the infrastructure components in the NetBackup Flex Scale cluster.
- Click Add.
The UI displays a message that confirms that the user addition operation is triggered. You can click View Details to see the progress of the operation.
Alternatively, you can also click the Recent Activity icon from the top right of the UI to see the status of the most recent operations occurring in the cluster.
- Once the operation completes verify that the new user you added appears in the list of users displayed in the User management pane.
