Configure services for user roles

Use the Services tab in the New User Role dialog box to specify the services you want to associate with this user role. Operators assigned to this user role will be able to view only those services you specify here.

Assigning different operators to a different service or group of services has several benefits:

• Focuses the operator view on a particular area of responsibility
• Restricts access to information that is not needed by that operator

To configure services for user roles

1. Open the User Roles dialog box if it is not already open.
   1. Select a node, service, or tool in the console tree.
   2. 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 Configure User Roles.
2. Click New to open the New User Role dialog box. The General tab displays by default.
3. Click the Services tab.

4. From the tree view of services, select one or more services that you want to associate with this user role. When you select a check box, the selection automatically includes all the service's superordinates and subordinates. You can then clear check boxes for individual subordinates if necessary. You cannot, however, select a service without its superordinates.

   NOTE:
   Operators cannot view dependent services in the map unless you include those services in their user role.

5. Click Apply to apply your changes.
6. Click the Nodes tab to continue configuring this user role.
