Users Guide

User with this role... Has the following user privileges

Device Manager (DM)

NOTE: DMs can share permissions to the

tasks and policies created by each other.

This sharing occurs by having complete

overlap with the device groups contained in

the task or policy, and those assigned to the

DM. If the DM loses complete overlap with

the groups contained in the task or policy,

the DM will no longer be able to run or edit it

unless this overlap is restored.

• Get only device group permissions from the admin. All other permissions are

fixed.

• Run tasks, policies, and other actions on the devices in the groups assigned

by the administrator.

• Cannot delete or modify any groups.

• More than one DM can be assigned access to the same static, dynamic, and

system groups of devices.

• Any number of groups can be assigned to a DM.

NOTE: Users with Device Manager (DM) privileges cannot be

assigned groups.

Viewer

• Can only view information displayed on OpenManage Enterprise–Tech

Release and run reports.

• By default, has read-only access to the console and all groups.

• Cannot run tasks or create and manage policies.

NOTE: If a viewer or DM is changed to an administrator, they get the

full administrator privileges. If a viewer is changed to a DM, the DM

has the same privileges as a viewer, if no device groups are assigned

to the DM.

NOTE: A change in the user role will not affect a logged-in user. The

changes become effective only after the next user login.

NOTE: An audit log is recorded when:

• A group is assigned or access permission is changed.

• User role is modified.
