Use the Nodes tab in the New User Role dialog box to
specify the managed node groups you want to associate with this
user role. Operators assigned to this user role can view and
operate on only those managed nodes contained in the node group
that you specify here.
When you assign responsibilities to operators for a specific
group of nodes, your operators can develop in-depth knowledge of a
specialized area. For example, you might designate one user role to
manage Windows nodes and another to manage UNIX nodes, or assign
nodes hosting various database servers to different user roles.
To configure nodes for user roles
Open the User Roles dialog box if it is not already
open.
Select a
node, service, or tool in the console tree.
Click
on the
Configuration toolbar to open the User Role Configuration
Editor and display the User Roles dialog box or right-click
to open the shortcut menu and select ConfigureUser Roles.
Click New to open the New User Role dialog box.
The General tab displays by default.
Select the Nodes tab.
From the tree view of nodes, select one or more node groups
that you want to associate with this user role. When you select a
check box, everything below that entry is also selected. The
selection includes the nodes as well as the node groups of the
selected node group. It is not possible to select a parent node
group without the node groups it contains.
Click Apply to apply your changes.
Click OK to confirm your choices and close this dialog
box.
Select the Tools
tab to continue configuring this user role.
