Procedure 2-5 To create a span of control profile
A span of control profile is a collection of one or more spans that is assigned to a user
group. When you create a profile, each span in the profile is assigned one of the
following access types:
• View Access—The user can view the span objects, unless the scope of command
permissions deny read access.
• Edit Access—The user can modify the span objects, unless the scope of
command permissions deny access.
• Blocked Edit—The user can view but not modify the span objects, regardless of
the scope of command permissions.
• Blocked View—The user cannot view or modify the span objects, regardless of
the scope of command permissions.
Blocked Edit and Blocked View spans restrict access to a subset of the objects in
another span in the same profile. For example, when multiple span of control profiles
each contain the Default Service Span, you can add a customer-specific Blocked View
or Blocked Edit span to each profile so that the user group associated with a profile can
view or configure only the services of specific customers.
A Blocked Edit or Blocked View span takes precedence over other spans. For example,
when a user has an Edit Access span that contains all services and a Blocked View span
that contains Customer A and Customer B, the user cannot view or configure the
services that belong to Customer A and Customer B.
Caution — Alcatel-Lucent recommends that you consider the effects
of combining customer, service, and NE spans in a span of control
profile. For example, a user can modify a service only when the service,
customer, and participating NEs are in one or more Edit Access spans of
the user, and none of the objects is in a Blocked Edit or Blocked View
span.
