- By default, the user is added to the "Everyone" group. You can add or remove users to or from the user group when you create or edit the user group, . You can assign the permissions to the users by selecting the required role-scope pairs.
- When you add users to a user group, the user inherits the permissions (role-scope pairs) from that group. You also have the option of not assigning permissions to the user, in that case the user actions are restricted, and the user cannot login to VMware Aria Operations.
- You cannot change the user name once you create it. So, select your username appropriately.
- You have read only access for the Super Administrator account. You can change the password for the Super Administrator account from the user interface only.
