About user privileges

The Management application provides the User Administrator with a high level of control over what functions individual users can see and use. This section describes the effect that each user privilege has on the application when placed in one of the three available configurations: no privilege, read-only, and read/write.

User privilege is the Management application’s method of providing role-based access control (RBAC) to the software’s user administrator.

In the Management application privileges are assigned to roles and devices are assigned to areas of responsibility (AOR). Privileges and devices are not directly assigned to users; users receive privileges and obtain access to devices from the roles and AORs to which they are assigned. You can assign multiple roles and AORs to a single user.

The following tables define all the privileges in the Management application and the behavior of the application if the privilege is not given, read only, or read/write.
