User authentication
In Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance management the term authentication refers to the means by which the system positively identifies each user. The compliance security subcomponent leverages the authentication framework used in the main Netcool Configuration Manager security component to authenticate users.
Device security
Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance functionality leverages the resource (realm, device) access that can be set up in Netcool Configuration Manager.
- Scope
- A user's data scope is defined in terms of the group's realms
and sub-realms as defined in Netcool Configuration
Manager. Remember: Realms are predefined hierarchies of network resources organized physically or logically.Network resources defined in a particular realm that is within a group's data scope are accessible by that groups' users.
- Security
- The ability to act on particular realms and the contents of the realms is controlled using the security tab within the Netcool Configuration Manager Account Management Group window. Users' rights to realm and resources within these realms are inherited from any group to which they belong.
