AlliedView NMS Administration Guide (Security Administration)
Following are the list of tasks that can be done for the selected Custom View Scope of a group.
4.5.2 Add Authorized Scope for a Custom View Scope
Generally Custom View Scopes are added through the group and scope settings. To add authorized scope to the available
Custom View Scope of the group, select the relevant Custom View Scope Name and click Add AuthorizedScope, which
will invoke the Scope Settings form.
In the Scope Settings form, enter the Authorized Scope Name in the respective text box, and then enter the required Name
and Value for the property of the scope. The Administrator can give more than one value as comma-separated property val-
ues for a property name. Now, click Add, which adds the Authorized Scope for the selected Custom View Scope of the
group, and then click Ok to make the change permanent.
4.5.3 Set Authorized Scope for a Custom View Scope
In order to set Authorized Scope for the selected Custom View Scope of the group, click Set AuthorizedScope. This will
invoke the Select AuthorizedScopes screen, in which the left-side column displays all the AuthorizedScopes set for the
operations of the groups, which are already present, and the right-side column displays the previously set Authorized Scopes
or the selected Custom View Scope name. Thus, you can select the respective scope to be set for the custom view in the left
and click > (Add). To remove the already existing authorized scope set for the Custom View, select the respective scope in
the right side column, and click < (Remove) button. Click OK to save the changes permanently in the server.
4.5.4 Set Scope Properties
To set properties to the Authorized Scopes of the Custom View Scope, select the respective row of the Authorized Scope and
click Set Scope Properties. This button invokes the Scope Settings Wizard where you can set the necessary properties for
the selected Authorized Scope.
This operation is similar to the tasks discussed above in the Scope Configuration section. The below table helps you to know
the wild card characters that are supported in NMS while specifying the scope criteria value.
