Users and security

When defining your functional groupings for users, you must consider Smarts’ security implementation. The following access levels are available to Smarts users:

• All

  A level where Smarts users can access all Global Console functionality available for one or more Domain Managers, if their user profile permits it.

• Monitor

  A level where Smarts users can access only Global Console monitoring functionality, not administrative functionality, at one or more Domain Managers, if their user profile permits it.

• Ping

  A level normally reserved for Smarts processes, where processes will ping hosts where other Smarts processes are installed to determine if the hosts are running.

• None

  A level that specifically excludes access to the Global Console.

  Also consider which Domain Managers should be accessed by which users. You can define this access in the serverConnect.conf file on the servers where the Smarts products are installed.
