Add account tab

Create a new user account on the Add account tab. Provide the following:

  • Enter a Username. We recommend that the user name be an email address, however any text string is a valid user name.

  • Enter a Password.

    By default, the password must be at least 12 characters.

    Note:

    VMware NSX Network Detection and Response uses the zxcvbn library (developed and shared by Dropbox) to enforce strong passwords on the User Portal. It applies various heuristics to ensure your password cannot be easily cracked.

    These heuristics are applied when you click create/save the user account. If the zxcvbn library determines that the entered password is too easily cracked, an error message is displayed at the top of the page, and the create/save operation terminates. Enter a more rigorous password.

    VMware recommends the use of a password manager to generate and recall strong passwords.

  • Enter the First, last name of the user.

  • Enter the Email address of the user.

  • Select the Default timezone for the user. This timezone is used as the default timezone for all security-related reporting for the user.

Click Create to add the new user account. The Account settings page is loaded.

Note:

The new user account is assigned default permissions. You must update the account on the Account setting page to add a role or to add or modify their permissions.
