When you connect to Enterprise Server Administration for a Directory Server that is running in restricted mode, you are presented with a summary screen. This screen shows basic details of the enterprise servers managed by the Directory Server.
Before you can perform any other actions, you must log on. To do this you require a user account. Directory Server comes with a number of preconfigured user accounts but you can create others.
When you have logged on, the features that you can use depend on the permissions granted to the user groups of which your user is a member.
Each user can be in many user groups. Again, Directory Server has several preconfigured groups and you can create others. Each of the preconfigured groups has appropriate permissions for a particular administrative task. One or more of the supplied users are assigned to each of the groups, with the exception of the System group, which is used by Micro Focus applications.
