Permissions

Permissions define the actions that IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor users can perform.

If a role does not have permission to access a function, that function is dimmed on the web console and console of the affected user and cannot be selected. After you define a role with restricted access, you can restrict access to actions, rule schedules, SLC schedules, and calendars. You can restrict access by associating the restricted role with the item you create.

Important: If a role has either manage or view only permission for reports/schedules, the role must have group, personal, or administer permission for the workspace. A role with reports/schedules permission cannot have the workspace permission set to none.
