Identity Source: Local Users
System Manager maintains a user database that is separate from the Admin Portal database. The user you specify when you install Ivanti EPMM is created as a separate user in each database. All users in the System Manager database are local users with the following privileges that cannot be changed:
- Command Line Interface (CLI)
- System Manager access
Important! Local users in the System Manager database are separate users from the local users that you define in the Admin Portal.
