Understanding NetConfig User Permissions
Understanding NetConfig User Permissions
Access to NetConfig functionality is controlled by permissions.
Users with only Help Desk permissions cannot use NetConfig as this option will not be displayed for
these users. Other users can use NetConfig, but their access to functionality is controlled by permissions.
In your application, see the Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check
whether you have the required privileges to perform the required NetConfig task.
Job Approval Permissions
Only users with Approver permissions can approve NetConfig jobs. Jobs must be approved before they
can run if Job Approval is enabled on the system.
For more details see the topic Setting Up Job Approval in the section Enabling Approval and Approving
Jobs Using Job Approval.
User-defined Tasks Permissions
By default, only users with Network Administrator permissions can create user-defined configuration
tasks (see Creating and Editing User-defined Tasks).A network administrator must give other users
permission to use them on a per-task basis.
Administrator Task Permissions
Only users with Network Administrator permissions can perform administrator tasks, which are listed
in the NetConfig Admin menu. Other users will not see this menu.
Administrator tasks are:
• Assigning tasks to users.
• Configuring default job properties.
• Creating and editing user-defined tasks.
For user permissions, see Understanding NetConfig User Permissions.
Job Editing Permissions
After a NetConfig job is created, the owner, another user with the owner’s privileges, or a network
administrator can:
• Copy a job.
• Edit a job
• Retry a job
• Delete a job
• Stop a job while it is running.
