File Users

Manage file realm users with the Administration Console. Users and groups in the file realm are listed in the key file, whose location is specified by the file property.


Note - It is also possible to use these steps to add users to any file realm, including the admin-realm. Simply substitute the name of the target realm in place of the file realm referenced in this section.


A user in the file realm can belong to a Java group, a category of users classified by common traits. For example, customers of an e-commerce application might belong to the CUSTOMER group, but the big spenders would belong to the PREFERRED group. Categorizing users into groups makes it easier to control the access of large numbers of users.

Initially after installation of the Enterprise Server, the only user is the administrator entered during installation. By default, this user belongs to the group asadmin, in the realm admin-realm, which gives rights to modify the Enterprise Server. Any users assigned to this group will have administrator privileges, that is, they will have access to the asadmin tool and the Administration Console.

The File Users page displays a list of users for the selected realm. For each user, the following information is provided:

User ID

The user name.

Group List

The groups to which the user belongs.
