Where to set up OpenEdge Management user accounts
How to create OpenEdge Management user accounts with Administrator or Operator privileges through the OE Console?
How to change the Admin password in OpenEdge Management from the OEE or OEM console?

 

Start a Browser and connect to the Jetty Webserver to access the OEE/OEMGT Console
 
http://<tcp_address_or_Host_Name_Where_AdminService_Is_Running>:<port>

The default http listener port is 9090 across all OpenEdge versions. Its value can be found in the fathom.properties file.
 
Enter the user and password at the login screen:  The default user is admin, the password is chosen by those who configured the tool initially along with any additional users required. 

While all previously configured users will be lost, the default admin user can be reset if needed.  Refer to Article How to reset the password for OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer?   

Users with the Administrator privilege can do all the following OpenEdge Management tasks:

• Start and Stop Brokers
• Add and trim Agents
• Add and trim Servers
• Stop processes
• Configure and modify properties for all managed resource instances
• Initiate OpenEdge rule threshold calculations using the Configuration Advisor 
• Delete resource instances

Apart from Administrators, users with an Operator Role can also added by Administrators.  
Operator accounts will only have Read access initially.  

Further permissions to allow specific actions can be customized through the "Operator Role Customization" where these customizations will apply to all operators as there is only one Operator Role. Only users with the Administrator privilege can make these changes. The OpenEdge Management Administrator must grant explicit authorization to Operators to perform any of the tasks in the previous list. 

To create a user: 

Access the OE Console by logging as a user with the Administrator privilege:
Options > Authorized users > Add User
 
Edit the screen with the information requested and grant tasks the user needs to be able to perform.
It is under the Role where the user can be declared as an Operator and assigned tasks they are to be able to perform from the previous list.

To change passwords:

Access the OE Console by logging as a user with the Administrator privilege:

Options > Authorized users > Select the user name
Select: EDIT.
Enter and confirm the new password in the properties window.

This user information is saved to the oemgmt\etc\fathomRealm.properties file which should be backed up as a precaution.

Additionally, a secure connection with HTTPS to the OpenEdge Console can be configured.  Refer to Article  How to setup an SSL certificate for OpenEdge Management / OpenEdge Explorer.
