Windows-based Authentication
Patch Management Server authentication is controlled by the Windows operating system.
Users who have access to the Patch Management Server are members of the local
Windows group PLUS Admins.
Update Access Rights
Once a user has logged into Patch Management Server, their assigned user role is
authenticated by the system. If a user does not have access to a given section, an access
denied error message will display.
In the Users Section, the Roles tab is where these roles are defined, while the Users tab is
where you can add or remove users and assign them a user role.
Defining Users
Users can be defined as individuals (John Smith) or conceptual users (Quality Assurance
Manager). The user profile includes access credentials and the role assigned to the user.
While a user only can be assigned one role, there can be many users assigned to a certain
role.
There are two methods of bringing users into the system: creating users and adding users.
•
Creating New Users
When a user is created, the user is added to both Patch Management Server and
Windows.

Server. Using this method, existing users are searched and can be added to Patch
Management Server.
