Assigning permissions to user groups for a perspective
Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager makes use the existing user groups which are present in the Active Directory or in the native operating system such as Windows or UNIX. The root user can assign permissions such as Admin or Guest to the user groups for a perspective.
For the Availability perspective, the root user can also assign the Operator role. The user groups having the Operator role can perform operations such as taking a service group online or offline, freezing or unfreezing a service group, or running the high availability and disaster recovery fire drill.
To assign permissions to user groups for a perspective, your user group must have the Admin role assigned on the Management Server perspective. The root user can also perform this task.
To assign permissions to user groups for a perspective
- In the Home page on the Management Server console, do one of the following:.
- Click Security, and click the Permissions tab.
- Select a perspective from the drop-down list.
- Under Add Permission, click Select user group.
- In the Select user group panel, select the domain, and enter the name of the user group.
The user group name is case-sensitive.
- Click Verify user group and click OK.
- Under Add Permission, select a role from the drop-down list. Click Add.
See About predefined roles in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager.
- In the Success panel click OK.
