Assigning access privileges

To use a specific feature of IBM® Intelligent Operations Center, an administrator can assign a user access through membership of a user group that is assigned access to the feature. You can also define a role that has one or more user groups mapped to it. When you assign access privileges to a role, the access privileges are assigned to all the user groups that are mapped to the role.

Before you begin

To use roles, your system must be configured to work with a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user registry. For more information, see Defining roles and access.

Procedure

Assign access privileges to roles and user groups according to your requirements.
Access to tenants
Assign roles or user groups to one or more tenants. For more information, see Creating or modifying tenants.
Access to contracts
Assign roles access privileges for one or more groups of contracts. For more information, see Assigning access to contracts in a group.
Access to pages
Assign roles or user groups access privileges for views in the IBM Intelligent Operations Center user interface, such as the Operations view. For more information, see Configuring page access.
Access to data sources
To allow a user access to data items from your data source on a map or list, assign the required access level to the data source. For more information, see Securing your data source.
Access to customized actions for data sources
Based on the access level assigned to the data source, configure the access privileges that are needed to make a customized action available on a data item's preview card. By default, the customized action is available on the preview card for users that have read or write access to the data source. For more information, see Configuring access to customized actions.
