Managing roles

Roles are sets of permissions that specify the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor actions users can take and the servers and server groups they can act upon. You set up roles based on the needs of your organization.

IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor is distributed with two roles: superuser and user. The superuser role can perform all IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor functions on all managed servers. The superuser can create additional roles or modify existing ones to serve business requirements. By default, the user role can view IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor activity but cannot perform management functions such as adding servers or creating SLCs or rules.

Note: Because the predefined user and superuser roles that ship with IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor are replaced with maintenance releases or upgrades, refrain from changing those roles. Instead, make copies of those roles and manipulate and use the copies.
