Veritas InfoScale™ Operations Manager 8.0.2 Installation and Configuration Guide

About Organizations, objects, and roles in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager

Organization is a collection of objects in a perspective that can be secured and managed as a group. Organizations can be created in all perspectives except in the Management Server perspective. To create an Organization, your user group must have the Admin role on the perspective. The objects within the Organization may or may not represent the physical organization of the objects in the actual data center.

Multiple Organizations can be created in a perspective and user permissions can be assigned to each Organization. For example, a group of users can have Admin role on an Organization having Windows hosts, and Guest role for an Organization having Linux hosts.

You can also create unlimited number of nested Organizations. An Organization defined in one perspective is not available in another perspective.

For more information on creating Organizations, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager User Guide.

Table: Objects for creating Organizations lists the objects in each perspective which can be grouped to form an Organization.

The objects within an Organization inherit the permissions assigned to the Organization. To assign exclusive user permissions on the objects within the Organization, you need to modify the permissions on the individual object.

For example, an Organization named Windows in the Server perspective has five hosts. By default, the hosts inherit the permissions assigned to the Organization. User permissions can be modified on each of the five hosts.

User permissions can be assigned to the following objects in a perspective:
