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.
