After the user is allocated a scope (list of Network Elements) and a role, the
user can then perform various activities on the Network Elements included in
the scope, as follows:
• Activate services.
• Manage alarms in Sheer NetworkVision.
• Manipulate graphical Network Elements in the map.
• View Network Element, inventory, and link properties.
• Add Network Elements to the map view.
• Manipulate business tags per Network Element.
• Manage advanced options, for example, show counters, show utilization,
and refresh.
By default Sheer DNA includes a pre-configured scope for the
administrator’s convenience, which cannot be edited or deleted, namely, All
Managed Elements. This default scope includes all of the managed Network
Elements. A user granted the All Managed Elements scope can view and
manage all the Network Elements all the time according to the user’s role
assigned to the scope.
10.1.2 Default Permissions The Role or default permission only applies to the activities that are related to
GUI functionality, not the activities related to Network Elements, including:
• Application login.
• Manage alarms in Sheer NetworkVision.
• Manage maps: Creating, deleting, and opening.
• Map manipulation: Arrange map, including, aggregations, adding NEs,
NEs placement in map, map background and so on.
• Business tag management.
10.1.3 Security Access Roles Sheer DNA provides five pre-defined security access roles that can be
granted to a user in order to enable system functions:
• Administrator: Manage the system configuration, and security. Sheer
DNA Manage supports multiple administrators.
• Configurator: Activate services, and configure the network.
• Operator Plus: Manage the alarm life cycle.
