Manage Local Windows Users

If you have Windows servers with local users and groups, you can add those servers to EmpowerID as managed account stores. This allows you to inventory local users and groups and manage those objects from EmpowerID, providing you with automated role-based access control, delegated permissions administration, and provisioning policy capabilities with a full audit trail of any actions involving those objects. This article demonstrates how to manage local Windows users in EmpowerID.

Manage local Windows user accounts

1. On the navbar, expand Admin > Applications and Directories and select Account Stores and Systems.

2. Search for the Local Windows account store with the user accounts you want to manage and click the Account Store link to navigate to the Account Store Details page for the account store.
   
   

   Open

   

    

3. On the Account Store Details page, select the User Accounts tab.

4. Search for the user account you want to manage and then click the Logon Name link for that account.
   
   

   Open

   

   
   This directs you to the View One page for the user account. View one pages allow you to view and edit the objects to which they are linked.
   
   

    

5. To view a list of actions that you can perform against the account, expand the Actions accordion.

6. To perform an action, click the tile or button for that action. For example, if you want to edit one or more attributes, you click the Edit button; if you want to create an EmpowerID Person from the account, you click the Create Person From Account button; if you want to disable the account you would click the Disable User Account button, and so on.
