Configure Account Qualification

Account Qualification is useful in cases where there are the same user names with different domains and they are SLNX administrators as well.

When Account Qualification is enabled, you can use the qualified user names when storing view settings of the device list, power filters, custom dashboards, reports, audit logs, and recording the last user who made a change to specific configurations.

Impact	When Account Qualification is Enabled
View settings of the device list	The view is stored with the user name specified with the authentication profile used when the user logs in and the internal ID. Only the user who logged in using the specified authentication profile can access the stored view.
Power Filters	The power filter is stored with the user name specified with the authentication profile used when the user logs in and the internal ID. Only the user who logged in using the specified authentication profile can access the stored power filter.
Dashboards	The custom dashboard is stored with the user name specified with the authentication profile used when the user logs in and the internal ID. Only the user who logged in using the specified authentication profile can access the stored dashboard
Reports	When [Account Qualification] is enabled, the report template, schedule, and task are stored with the user name specified with the authentication profile used when the user logs in and the internal ID. Only the user who logged in using the specified authentication profile can access the report.
Audit Logs	A user name is recorded in the audit log as follows: When the account is an internal account, only the user name is recorded When the account uses an authentication profile, the user name of the account qualified by the authentication profile is recorded together with the authentication profile used upon login and its internal ID. The audit log records the user name with the profile name at the time of the audit, so if the profile name is changed, the user name with the old profile name may be recorded.
Last updated Users	The name of the last user who changed the setting is recorded as follows: When the account is an internal account, only the user name is recorded When the account uses an authentication profile, the user name of the account qualified by the authentication profile is recorded together with the authentication profile used upon login and its internal ID. The user name with the profile name is recorded when changed, so if the profile name is changed, the user name with the old profile name may be recorded.

Account Qualification is disabled after SLNX is installed or updated from Device Manager NX, and the users with the same name are treated as the same account in the functions listed above. If you disable or update the software, ensure you re-enable Account Qualification using the instructions below.

To Enable Account Qualification

Click [System] → [Security] → [User Roles].
Click [Account Qualification].

Select the [Qualify accounts by Authentication Profile] check box.
Click [OK].

If an authentication profile is deleted, any custom user data will be orphaned in the database. When the authentication profile is added again, it is assigned with a new internal ID so the custom user data will still be orphaned.
When the [Account Qualification] setting is disabled, custom user data will be orphaned in the database. If the setting is enabled again, the data will be available.
