Table 2-5 Predefined spans of control
Spans are specified in span of control profiles that are associated with user groups. A
user can create a 5620 SAM object only when the predefined span for the object type
is in the span of control profile. For example, if you do not have the Default Group Span
in your span of control profile, you cannot create a ring group.
NEs are added automatically to a span when the parent topology group, ring group, or
VLAN group is in a span. An object that is automatically added to a span cannot be
removed from the span, but an explicitly added object can be removed.
Each user can control which objects the 5620 SAM displays in maps, lists, and navigation
trees, based on the user span of control. The User Preferences form contains a
parameter that globally specifies whether the Edit Access span objects of the user
appear by default. Objects that are not in a View Access span of the user are not
displayed, regardless of the user preference. See “To filter using span of control” in
the 5620 SAM User Guide for information about configuring the user span of control
display preference.
In a list form, you can override the global display preference using the Span On
parameter. The associated advanced filter form contains a selector for filtering the
search results based on the span of control. See the 5620 SAM User Guide for
information about configuring span of control filters.

Note 1 — A user can view or configure a point-to-point connection only
when each endpoint of the connection is in the user span of control. For
example, when the endpoints of an LSP path are in different spans, you
need view or configuration privileges in each span in order to view or
configure the LSP path.
Note 2 — When you create a span, you can drag and drop NEs and
topology groups into the span contents list.
