Adding a role

Edit online

The role appears on the All Roles pane and can be applied to new and existing accounts.

Procedure

  1. Click the Configure tab. On the Views pane, select Access Control, then select the Roles tab.
  2. In the All Roles pane, click New. The New Role dialog opens.
  3. Enter a role name and a meaningful description.
  4. Select IBM® Storage Defender Copy Data Management features to add to the role, such as reports, jobs, and sites as well as provider types, such as VMware, LDAP, and SMTP.
  5. When a feature is added to the role, it displays in the Permissions pane. Select permissions for the feature.

    For example, if the Site feature is added to the role, the following Site-based permissions are available: Create, View, Edit, Delete and All Permissions. If the Delete permission is excluded from the role, accounts associated with this role can create, view, and edit Sites, but cannot delete them.

    Similarly, if the Report feature is added to the role, the Create permission allows accounts associated with the role to create custom reports. The View permission allows accounts associated with the role to view the list of reports in the Reports and Jobs tabs as well as run and view reports.

    To set permissions for individual roles, click Click to select permissions next to the role name.

    To set bulk permissions for multiple roles, select the check boxes next to the role names, then click the Add Permissions drop-down menu. Select permissions to apply to the selected roles, then click Apply.

    Permissions are then added to the selected roles.

  6. When you are satisfied that the selected features and permissions are correct, click Finish. The role appears on the All Roles pane and can be applied to new and existing accounts.
