Issue/Introduction

What kind of privileged accounts are built in to CAPM out of the box and what do they do?

 

Environment

Dx NetOps Performance Management any version

Resolution

See https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/performance-management/21-2/administrating/manage-roles-and-user-accounts/manage-user-accounts.html

Predefined User Accounts
By default, DX NetOps Performance Management includes the following predefined user accounts:
admin
Grants all administrative privileges.
Role: Administrator
Special Role Rights: All (the global administrator or Default Tenant administrator)
Permission Groups: Can view data from all groups
Default password: admin

user
Specifies typical operator privileges, such as viewing data.
Role: IT Operator
Special Role Rights: None
Permission Groups: Can view data from all groups
Default password: user

You cannot delete these user accounts. The predefined user accounts are useful for performing initial setup. You can use them to allocate LDAP access with minimal role rights, or as templates for creating custom user accounts. But because they are common to all DX NetOps Performance Management installations, they are less secure.
