Managing Sheer DNA Security

10.2Customizing Security Flow

The flow below describes the steps required to customize security using Sheer DNA Manage and the order in which they must be performed.

Step 1: Install a license

Step 2: Define a scope(s)

Step 3: Define Sheer DNA user accounts

Step 4: Grant scopes and roles to a user(s)

Step 1: Install a license: Enables the administrator to control and monitor the number of Sheer DNA Client and BQL connections over a limited or unlimited period of time based on the client licenses installed. For more information, refer to Section 7.1, Managing Client Licenses.

Step 2: Define a scope: Enables the administrator to group a collection of managed Network Elements together in order to enable the user to view and/or manage the Network Elements based on the user’s role. For more information, refer to Section 10.3, Creating Scopes.

Step 3: Define Sheer DNA user accounts: Enables the administrator to define and manage user accounts. For more information, refer to Section 10.4, Creating New Sheer DNA User Accounts.

Step 4: Grant scopes and roles to a user: Enables the administrator to manage general user account information and the list of scopes assigned to the user as well as the security access roles per scope. For more information, refer to Section 10.5, Granting or Editing a User’s Rights.
