Hi all,
I think this has been mentioned before somewhere:
a) master operators can’t be changed to console operators
b) the old master operators login should not be used for new console operator
What’s the impact of B? I have a situation where it would be very desirable to re-create the same username for an old master operator and just wanted to know the possible impact.
Tks,
R.

Hi Rad,
In BES 6.0 we disabled the ability to go back and forth with a username between MO and NMO. Reusing a MO name as a NMO can cause serious issues for your deployment. Since every action, Fixlet Message, Analysis, Task, Retrieved Properties, and Baseline gets signed with the users credentials trying to switch a MO to an NMO can cause these things become Invalidly Signed.
I would highly recommend if possible have a naming scheme that allows you to promote or demote a user. Generally a simple method is to include a prefix or suffix to user names, for example MO-bigfixuser, and NMO-bigfixuser.
