Managing Security on Windows NT

Unless the person installing NerveCenter chose to install NerveCenter without security, NerveCenter Setup automatically creates two groups with the required login rights -- NerveCenter Admins and NerveCenter Users. Setup also automatically adds to the NerveCenter Admins group the user ID of the person who installs NerveCenter.

---

Note    The person who installs NerveCenter must have the rights to create either local or global groups. If not, NerveCenter will not create these groups successfully.

---

Setup creates these groups differently depending on where you install NerveCenter.

• If you install on a Windows NT workstation or server, NerveCenter Setup creates two local groups. These two local groups must be on every machine that runs NerveCenter.
• If you install on an Windows NT primary or backup domain controller, NerveCenter Setup creates two global groups on the primary domain controller.

You can also create other groups that are members of one of the NerveCenter groups.

There are two scenarios for adding NerveCenter users:

• Adding Users to a NerveCenter Installed on a Windows NT Workstation or Server
• Adding Users to a NerveCenter Installed on a Windows NT Domain Controller
