6.7.6 Setting User Privileges

 

You can prevent a user from accessing certain data in the WebNMS Client and also confine him to viewing and working on only selected performance information. This can be achieved using the Custom View Scope mechanism of the Security Management. For more information, refer to Managing Custom View Scopes.

 

This topic provides an example based on which you can create your own Custom View Scopes for Performance views.

 

Example

 

Assume that there are two users with the following privileges. These users can view only the performance details of hosts that start with 's'.

 

User1: View Thresholds list and View Polling objects

User2: View Thresholds list, View Polling objects, and Add Statistics

 

Procedure

    1. In WebNMS Client, from the Tools menu, choose Security Administration. The Security Administration tool is displayed.

    2. Add new user User1 and User2.

    3. Add new group Group A.

    4. Assign required permissions for the Group.

    5. Assign the two new users User1 and User2 to Group A.

    6. Set the Scope Criteria.

After executing this example, log in to the WebNMS Client using the newly added user names. Your Client displays only performance details of devices whose host name starts with S.
