AlliedView NMS Administration Guide

4.4.2 Assigning Users to Group

Users can be assigned to the group by selecting the particular group from the left side of the Security Administration window

under the parent node Groups and in the Members tab screen in the right, click Setting Users. This invokes the Select Users

Wizard where you can see all the user names in the left-side column and the selected users for the particular group in the

right-side column. Between these two columns are the Add and Remove buttons by which you can select a particular user

and either add the user to the group or remove the user from the group.

4.4.3 Assigning Operations to Group

To assign operations to the group, select the particular group and click the Permitted Operations for Group tab in which

you can click Set Permissions. This invokes the operation tree where you can allow or disallow operations for that group by

clicking the check boxes of the respective operations, and then clicking Done to make the changes permanently in the server

and to exit the operations tree. Thus, the tasks under the Group Settings are performed.

4.5 Custom View Scope (CVS)

4.5.1 Overview

Setting Custom View Scope for groups of users helps in filtering the objects that are to be displayed in the user's GUI on

which the user is permitted to do the respective authorized operations. By specifying the custom view scope criteria, the

user can view only the objects for which he or she has been authorized to operate on by filtering the objects.

For the particular group the various Custom View Scopes assigned can be viewed, new Authorized Scopes can be added, and

already existing Authorized Scopes can be edited for the selected CVS of the group by using the options available in the

Custom View Scope for Group tab in the right as shown in the following figure.

Note: Any changes to scope take effect the next time a user (or a user in a group) logs in. Also, a user in multiple groups will be

filtered according to the most restricting scope of each category of all groups.
