  • Authenticate users when accessing the system.
  • Set them access rights to the system.

The web console displays all user accounts located in the system. Therefore, you can see at least one user account just after the first login to the web console.

Ones you are logged in to the web console, you can:

  • Create new users accounts.
  • Change their parameters.
  • Lock accounts.
  • Terminate the user session.

You can find the account management in the Accounts settings.

The following describes adding system user accounts in the web console and setting administration rights to the accounts.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the RHEL web console.
  2. Click Accounts.
  3. Click Create New Account.

  4. In the Full Name field, enter the full name of the user.

    The RHEL web console automatically suggests a user name from the full name and fills it in the User Name field. If you do not want to use the original naming convention consisting of the first letter of the first name and the whole surname, update the suggestion.

  5. In the Password/Confirm fields, enter the password and retype it for verification that your password is correct. The color bar placed below the fields shows you security level of the entered password, which does not allow you to create a user with a weak password.

When the password expires, the next login attempt will prompt for a password change.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the RHEL web console interface.
  2. Click Accounts.
  3. Select the user account for which to enforce password expiration.
  4. In the user account settings, click Never expire password.

  5. In the Password Expiration dialog box, select Require password change every …​ days and enter a positive whole number representing the number of days when the password expires.

3.5. Terminating user sessions in the web console

A user creates user sessions when logging into the system. Terminating user sessions means to log the user out from the system.

It can be helpful if you need to perform administrative tasks sensitive to configuration changes, for example, system upgrades.

In each user account in the RHEL web console, you can terminate all sessions for the account except for the web console session you are currently using. This prevents you from cutting yourself off the system.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the RHEL web console.
  2. Click Accounts.
  3. Click the user account for which you want to terminate the session.

  4. Click the Terminate Session button.

    cockpit terminate session If the Terminate Session button is inactive, the user is not logged in the system.

The RHEL web console terminates the sessions.
