Assigning Tasks to Users
ntp server 20.20.20.20 (taken from the device-specific section of the Parameters file)
ip http port 55 (taken from the device-specific section of the Parameters file)
ip address 1.1.1.1 (taken from the global section of the Parameters file)
When the job contains the device 10.77.202.229, the following commands are generated:
ntp server 30.30.30.30 (taken from the device-specific section of the Parameters file)
ip http port 90 (taken from the global section of the Parameters file)
ip address 1.1.1.1 (taken from the global section of the Parameters file)
When the job contains any other devices, all the values are taken from the global section of the XML
file, and the following commands are generated:
ntp server 10.10.10.10
ip http port 90
ip address 1.1.1.1
If the value for a parameter is not found in the command file, the syntax check (in the job creation flow)
displays an error.
Note You can enter any special character that is accepted by the device as the value for a parameter in the
command file. This is because NetConfig does not process the parameter values. NetConfig only reads
the value given between <value> and </value> tags and generates the command. Therefore, you can
enter any special character that the device accepts.
Assigning Tasks to Users
You can assign access privileges to NetConfig tasks, to users with Network Operator privileges or lesser.
All other users with privileges higher than Network Operator are assigned all tasks by default.
A network administrator must assign task access privileges to other users. See Understanding NetConfig
User Permissions section for details.
Note View the Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check whether you have the
required privileges to perform this task.
To assign tasks to users:
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Config Mgmt > NetConfig > Assigning Tasks.
The Assign Tasks dialog box appears.
Step 2 Enter the username of the user to whom you want to assign the tasks.
This should be a valid CiscoWorks user. If RME has been registered with a Cisco Secure ACS Server,
then the user should be a valid ACS user.
