FM Users

FM Users page lets you manage the GigaVUE FM users. You can also configure user's role and user groups to control the access privileges of the user in GigaVUE‑FM. To add users you must be a user with fm_super_admin role or a user with either read/write access to the FM security Management category.

Note:  GigaVUE‑FM is preconfigured with one user with the fm_super_admin role assigned (user name - admin, password - admin123A!!, However, if GigaVUE-FM is deployed inside AWS or OpenStack use the Instance ID as the default password.).

Accounts and credentials configured in FM Users page are stored to a local database in GigaVUE‑FM.

Notes:

1.

To take advantage of GigaVUE‑FM, Gigamon highly recommends that you have the same user name and password (with roles) registered with the physical node(s). In doing so, GigaVUE‑FM provides the ability to manage and monitor physical devices with all of its features.

2.

If a user has full access (super admin or admin) on GigaVUE‑FM but limited access on the node, they will be able to view the traffic and all the ports from the Dashboard page, Audit logs and Reports but will not be able to configure the node itself.

3.

If the user with the same name is created on GigaVUE‑FM and the node but the passwords are different, the user will be able to view all the ports on the node from GigaVUE‑FM but will not be able to configure the node from GigaVUE‑FM. In order to have full access, it is required that both the username and passwords be identical on the node as well as GigaVUE‑FM. To avoid such situations it is recommended to use centralized authorization servers such as LDAP, RADIUS or TACACS+.

For more information about adding users, refer to the Add Users section in the Roles and Users.
