9 Users and Authorizations
Systems Insight Manager enables you to configure authorizations for specific
users
or
user groups
.
Authorizations give the user access to view and manage systems. Each authorization specifies a user or user
group, a
toolbox
, and a system or system group. The specific set of tools that can be run on a system is
specified in the assigned toolbox.
You must plan which systems each user will manage and which specific set of
tools
each user is authorized
to execute on managed systems. A user with no toolbox authorizations on a particular system cannot view
or manage that system.
Authorizations are cumulative. If a user is authorized for Toolbox1 and Toolbox2 on the same system, the
user is authorized for all tools in both Toolbox1 and Toolbox2 on that system. Similarly, a user authorized
for the All Tools toolbox on a system requires no other toolbox authorizations on that system because the
All Tools toolbox always includes all tools. See the HP Systems Insight Manager online help for more
information on setting up users and authorizations.
Users
Create user accounts to sign-in to Systems Insight Manager. The account must be valid on the operating
system (including Active Directory on Windows) on the CMS and is authenticated by the CMS. You must
know the operating system
user account
name of the user you are adding, but it is not necessary to know
the password.
User groups
User groups must exist in the operating system. For Windows, they must also exist in Active Directory.
Members of user groups in the operating system can sign-in to Systems Insight Manager and inherit the
group's attributes for configuration rights, sign-in IP address restrictions, and authorizations. When a group's
configuration rights, sign-in IP address restrictions, or authorizations are changed, this change is immediately
reflected for all current members of the group.
With configuration rights, the user inherits the highest setting. With sign-in IP address restrictions, the user
inherits all entries. With authorizations, the user inherits all authorizations.
NOTE: A user's group membership is determined at sign-in. If a user's group membership changes in the
operating system, it is not reflected in Systems Insight Manager until the next time the user signs in to Systems
Insight Manager.
Toolboxes
Toolboxes are used to configure a group of
tools
for each
user
that has access. Toolboxes are set up so that
some users can use the group of tools to which each user has access but not others. For example, an
administrator has access to more tools than a user.
NOTE: For users with
operator rights
and user rights to clear, delete, assign events, and add comments
to events, you must select Configuration Tool from the Show tools in category dropdown list. Then, select
Clear Events, Delete Events, Assign Events, and Comment Events as necessary, and then click
to add them to the Toolbox contents.
