Users with administrative-level permissions can also edit some additional parameters, such as their name, email, manager, and locale. They can also quickly go to the User Detail page to review additional information about their account, and to make any changes, as needed.
For more information about editing user accounts using the User Detail page, see the following topics:

Log in to the KACE SMA Administrator Console, https://KACE_SMA_hostname/admin, where KACE_SMA_hostname is the hostname of your appliance. Or, if Show organization menu in admin header is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information. |

If you use external LDAP server authentication, the appliance accesses a directory service to authenticate users. This allows users to log in to the appliance Administrator Console or User Console using their domain username and password.
For information about adding user accounts to the KACE SMA for local user authentication, see:
The account needs read-only access to the Search Base DN field on the LDAP server. The account does not need write access, because the appliance does not write to the LDAP server.
In addition, the account must have a password that never expires. Because the password never expires, make sure it is very secure. The user can change the password (that complies with the appropriate security requirements), however, the password must be updated in the KACE SMA. You can give the account a username, such as KACE_Login, or you can attempt to connect to the LDAP server using an anonymous bind.
