Creating a user in a Windows Virtual Machine (VM) can refer to different methods depending on the context. While the standard method involves creating a local or domain user account within the Windows operating system itself, the provided reference describes a specific process related to adding users to a user role using a wizard. This method is typically associated with managing access or permissions within a system that controls or interacts with the VM, often utilizing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
Here's how to add users to a role using the process described in the Create User Role Wizard:
This process involves selecting existing user accounts or groups and assigning them to a defined role, which grants them specific permissions or access levels within the system where this wizard is used.
Follow these steps:
- Start the Wizard: Initiate the Create User Role Wizard.
- Name and Describe the Role: Enter a descriptive name for the role and optionally provide a description. Select Next to proceed.
- Select the Profile: In the Profile page of the wizard, select the specific role you intend to configure or add members to. Then, select Next.
- Add Members: Navigate to the Members section. Select Add to begin incorporating user accounts and Active Directory groups into this designated user role.
- Specify Users, Computers, or Groups: In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box that appears, specify and add the desired user accounts, computers, or groups. Once added, select Next to finalize the member selection for the role.
This process links existing user identities to a role that defines their capabilities within the system managed by the wizard. It's important to note that this typically doesn't create the user account itself on the Windows OS, but rather grants permissions to pre-existing accounts or groups.
