Who has permissions to login to the PMAdmin website? (4313020)

Who has permissions to login to the PMAdmin website?

After an initial install of Password Manager, users may not have permission to access the PMAdmin website.

By default, Password Manager creates a local group called PMAdmin on the local server where the Password Manager Service is installed and gives directory permissions to the PMAdmin virtual directory in IIS. IT Staff typically have permissions to the PMAdmin virtual directory by default, however, some do not.  Also, members of the local Administrators group also should have access.

To grant permissions to a user account for gaining access to the PMAdmin website,

1. Simply add the user account to the PMAdmin local group on the Server where the Password Manager Administrator site is installed.

2. Add the user account to the IIS_IUSRS group also.

Alternatives:

• Create a new Security Group in the domain, then add this newly created security group to the PMAdmin local group
• Grant permissions directly to the PMAdmin virtual directory in IIS by right-clicking and selecting Edit Permissions, then add the specific user and or group account to this location. Select Read & execute List folder contents, Read, and Write permissions
