Restricting Access By default, all users who have been successfully authenticated to a system

to 3WXMwith 3WXM installed on it can run 3WXM. You can restrict the users allowed to access 3WXM on a system and define their access privileges by creating three types of 3WXM user accounts:

„Administrator—This account can monitor the network, configure the network, and administer 3WXM. When creating an administrator account, you must assign an administrator password, which you are required to provide the next time you configure access privileges. This account also can remove locks.

„Provision—This account can configure and monitor the network. However:

„On the File menu, the New, Switch Network Plan, and Delete Network Plan options are greyed out.

„All configuration options in the 3WXM Services Setup dialog box are greyed out.

„Monitor—This account can only monitor the network. When users with a monitor account open a network plan, they can see configuration changes that have been deployed to the network. Any configuration changes that have not been deployed are not visible.

„On the File menu, all options except Open, Close, and Exit are greyed out.

„On the Tools menu, the Certificate Management option is greyed out.

„All tasks for creating configuration items are greyed out.

„All configuration options in the 3WXM Services Setup dialog box are greyed out.

„Options to deploy and undo local changes and accept or undo network changes are not available.

„The options on the right-click menu in the Organizer panel are greyed out.

„Configuration items that are related specifically to monitoring (logs, managed devices, site surveys and work orders) can be configured. However, new network plans cannot be configured.

The 3WXM user accounts you create must also exist in the Windows domain or local operating system. Otherwise, those users cannot start 3WXM.
