8.3.3.2 Adding a Custom User Profile
Cisco MGM allows SuperUsers and SysAdmins to generate custom user profiles with certain privileges.
Custom user profiles are grouped into categories and each category has a set of operations (see
Table 8-6). After the user profiles are generated, they can be assigned to new Cisco MGM users. This
functionality, also known as network partitioning, allows you to control how much access particular
users have to the network.
Use the Create New User Profile wizard to add Cisco MGM user profiles. Table 8-5 describes the fields
in the wizard.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > Cisco MGM Users.
Step 2 In the Cisco MGM Users table, choose Administration > Cisco MGM User Profiles (or click the
Launch User Profiles Table tool).
Step 3 In the Cisco MGM User Profiles table, choose Edit > Create (or click the Create a New User Profile
tool).
Step 4 In the Create New Cisco MGM User Profile wizard, specify the following:
• User profile name
• NE assignment (read only)
• Default user login sessions allowed
• Description
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 Select a user profile category from the Categories area. Operations for each category are displayed on
the right side of the Categories area. See Table 8-6 for a complete list of Cisco MGM profile categories
and operations.
Step 7 Specify user capabilities by setting permission or privileges for one or all operations. When setting
privileges for each operation, select one of the following radio buttons:
• Read Only
• Read/Write
• No Access
When setting privileges for all operations, select one of the following buttons:
• Set All Read Only
• Set All Read/Write
• Set All No Access
Note The user profile operations displayed on the right side of the Create New Cisco MGM User
Profile wizard depend on the category selected. You can select the root node to see all the
operations for all categories.
Step 8 Click Finish.
Step 9 Click Yes in the message box. The message box will not be displayed if it is disabled in the User
Preferences dialog box. See 8.3.4.11 Setting User Preferences, page 8-26 for more information.
