When the HP Web Jetadmin client application launches, the user is authenticated to the server using
Windows Integrated Authentication. Features that have been disabled as a result of assigned role
permissions cannot be viewed or accessed from the user’s account. To log in to the HP Web Jetadmin
server using a different Windows account user name, users must launch Microsoft Internet Explorer by
going to Internet Explorer > Start, right-clicking Programs., and then selecting Run As.
HP Web Jetadmin administrator role
After installing HP Web Jetadmin, all accounts with membership to the local administrator group also
have HP Web Jetadmin administrative account access to all the features and settings on the HP Web
Jetadmin server. Within the client, this account role privilege is referred to as HP Web Jetadmin
Administrator (Read Only). The administrator role is read-only and cannot be deleted. Any local user,
domain user, or group that is part of the Microsoft local administrator group on the HP Web Jetadmin
server host has full administrator rights to the HP Web Jetadmin server. Additional roles beyond
administrator can be created to define access or privileges for different users based on their job
functions.
Create roles
Roles are created by launching the Create Role
wizard (Figure 1). To launch the wizard, go to
Application Management > User Security >
Roles, and then click New.
Select None from the Restriction type list to
display the global permission choices that apply
to all parts of the application.
The Groups restriction type provides permission
choices that are specific to device groups. The
Groups permissions are discussed in “Device
group restriction type” on page 6.
After the restriction type is selected, the
permission settings can be defined (Figure 1).
Use the checkboxes to enable or disable access
to the application features. For example, you
can allow access to device features for a group
working in the helpdesk operations. These
permissions can allow viewing device status and information, but not allow device configuration.
After specific permission settings are configured, click Next to assign the Role name. After the role
settings are complete, a Confirm page displays the selected settings. Next, the Results page shows the
settings for the role and has an Assign to users now checkbox that is selected by default.
The name and permissions for an existing role can be changed. The restriction type cannot be
changed. Roles can also be deleted. The deletion of a role is immediately applied to all the connected
clients. To access existing roles, go to Application Management > User Security > Roles.
User/role assignment
Custom roles and the HP Web Jetadmin Administrator role can have one or more user assignments.
Assign users and roles with Windows users or user groups. These users or user groups can be based
in either the local system or the Windows domain.
HP Web Jetadmin servers that are joined to a Windows domain exist in the list of domain member
computers. Users who log in to the computers are members of the domain. These users, as well as the
user groups to which they belong, can be assigned to HP Web Jetadmin roles. After these
assignments are made, users have access to the features defined by the role permissions settings.
