Managing JSS User Accounts
The JAMF Software Server (JSS) is a multi-user application. You can grant different levels of access to each
user by setting up JSS user accounts and assigning different privileges to each one.
Individual JSS user accounts can be created manually or—if you have an LDAP server connection set up—
added from a directory service. You can also grant access to groups from an LDAP server.
This section explains how to:
Create a new user account in the JSS
Add a user account from an LDAP server
• Upgrade the Distinguished Name (DN) from an LDAP account
Grant access to a group from an LDAP server
•
Note: JSS users added from an LDAP server receive the privileges assigned to their individual user
accounts. LDAP members that don’t have individual accounts in the JSS, but are members of one or more
groups with access, receive the privileges assigned to each group.
Important: It is recommended that you have at least one JSS user account that is not from an LDAP
server in case the connection between the JSS and the LDAP server is interrupted.
To create a new user account in the JSS:
1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Click the Accounts link.
4. Click the Create New Account button.
