OMNM Administrative Tools | Getting Started
OMNM 6.5.2 User Guide 29
The Advanced button lets you configure each functional permissions by type. For example, expand
the Read list to specify READ permissions to all or selected functions.
When you hover the cursor over a functional permission, tooltips provide a description.
NOTE:
If you upgrade your installation and new permissions are available, edit the Administrator Role, and
notice an enabled Add button indicates new permissions are available. Because of an upgrade, for
example, the Configuration Files portlet might not be visible. By default, upgrades turn off any new
permissions, so if you want them enabled, particularly for Administrators, click Add and enable them for
the Roles for which you want them enabled.
The portlet settings button (wrench) through which you edit portlet settings, is only accessible if you
have the “Change Portlet Settings” permission. On upgrade, no users this permission. This is by
design, because the intent is for the system administrator to consider which users (more specifically,
which user roles) should change portlet settings and which users should not have access to this
feature.
Redcell > Database Aging Policies (DAP)
Database Aging Policies prevent the OpenManage Network Manager database from filling up by
deleting old records. You can also save designated contents to an archive file on a specified cycle.
Database Aging Policies configure which contents to archive, the archive location, and the
configuration of that archive file.
