HP Operations Manager for Windows

Assign user roles


User roles can contain both administrative and operator tasks, but they are assigned to operators only. An operator may be assigned to more than one user role. Administrators can access all operator and administrative functions.

Before operators can be assigned a user role, they must belong to the user group HP-OVE-OPERATORS. If a user is assigned to the HP-OVE-ADMINS groups, that user has unrestricted administrative access.

Note NOTE:
As an administrator, you can remove yourself from any assigned user roles. This allows access to all operational views and tasks.

Operators who belong to the HP-OVE-OPERATORS group but have not been assigned any user roles can access all service, node, and tool instances and any associated messages. However, you can change this behavior by setting the value Specify operator lockdown in the User Roles namespace in the Server Configuration dialog box. When this value is set to true, an operator who is not assigned to any user role cannot view or do anything.

Operators cannot access to any administrative tasks, such as service, node, tool, user role, or policy configuration and deployment. Administrative tasks are explained in detail in the "Administering your Environment" section of the help.

To assign an operator to a user role, use the User Roles configuration editor.
