Setting Up AIM Users
This chapter describes how to add users to Advanced Insight Manager (AIM). Users are able to view only incidents and intelligence messages to which they have appropriate permissions. Permissions are based on the user group(s) to which users are assigned and the association of those user groups to specified device groups. For more information about configuring user groups, see Setting Up AIM Users. For more information about configuring device groups, see Creating Device Groups.
Additionally, users can be assigned permissions that allow them access only to a subset of AIM operations. If the Multi-Site license is present, allowing for multiple organizations, users have access to organizations and the devices contained in them based on their user group and device group associations.
Incidents and Intelligence Updates assigned to users are filtered based on the user's user group and device group associations.
An AIM user must have the following:
The password for the administrator should not match the username, and should not be a word that can be easily guessed.
In general, AIM passwords should be:
- Easy to remember so that users are not tempted to write them down.
- Contain up to 32 characters, using at least two of the four defined character sets (uppercase, lowercase, numeric, other). The characters in the set "other" are those that can be entered using a single keystroke, or a keyboard character accessed using the Shift key, that does not fall into any of the other three groups.
