Creating a data visibility group

Create data visibility groups to limit what events (data) a specific user can monitor.

Tip: If you want to restrict a user to all the activities from one or more servers, you can use the server group restriction. With the server group option, you create a server group with one or more servers and associate that group to a user role.

To create a data visibility group:

  1. Select Manage > Data Visibility Group from the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor window to display the Data Visibility Group listing.
  2. Click the Create button to display the Create Data Visibility Group wizard.
  3. Define a name for the group and provide a description. Click Next.
  4. Click the Create button to display the Create Data Visibility Group Criteria wizard. You must specify at least one criterion that defines what events (data) a user has access to.
  5. Define a name for the criterion and provide a description. Click Next.
  6. Specify one or more parameters to define the criterion by choosing a Key and Operator and entering a Value. Click Next.
  7. Confirm your selections and click Finish. The criterion you defined is listed in the Data Visibility Group - Criteria list.
  8. Click the Create button to create another criterion. After you add all criteria for the data visibility group, click Next.
  9. Confirm your selections and click Finish. Click Close to exit the wizard. The data visibility group is displayed in the Data Visibility Groups listing.
