User Roles Required to Work with Basic Operations in Prime
Network Vision
Table 2-1 ident ifies the GUI default pe rmission or device sco pe securit y level that is required to work
with Prime Network Vision. Prime Network Vision determines whether you are authorized to perform a
task as follows:
• For GUI-based tasks (tasks that do not affect devices), authorization is based on the default
permission that is assigned to your user account.
• For element-based tasks (tasks that do affect elements), authorization is based on the default
permission that is assigned to your account. That is, wheth er the element is in one of your assigned
scopes and whether you meet the minimum security level for that scope.
For more information on user authorization, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Administrator Guide.
By default, users with the Administrator role have access to all managed elements. To change the
Administrator user scope, see the topic on device scopes in the Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Administrator
Guide.
