Owners Manual

Managing Users and Permissions | Getting Started
OMNM 6.5.2 User Guide 67
Organizations
Create Organizations just as you would create Users. You can create a Regular or Location type of
organization. You can do this only if your package includes the MSP option, so this capability is not
available to all users.
NOTE:
You must first create a Regular organization to be the parent for a Location. Also: These organizations are
useful to organize users. They are distinct from the device-organizing Locations described in Locations
Portlet on page 221 and are not available for organizing in the Hierarchical View portlet (see Using
Hierarchies on page 254).
Adding and Configuring User Roles/Permissions
Add and configure User Roles with the following steps:
1 Click Go to > Control Panel > Portal > Roles .
2 Click the Add tab under the heading at the top of the page, and select Regular Roles .
The New Role options are displayed.
You can also add site and organization roles that configure permissions.
3 Enter the details of the new role ( Name, Title, Description ), then Save it.
4 Click Portal > Roles > View All to verify that the new role was added to the list.
The actions available for a new role are Edit, Permissions, Define Permissions, Assign
Members, View Users, and Delete role.
5 Click Actions > Define Permissions for the new role.
The Define Permissions editor is displayed.
Alternatively, select or delete OpenManage Network Manager permissions by editing the role
in
Redcell > Permission Manager.
NOTE:
If you are restricting permissions for new users, you must also remove the permissions from the User and
Power User roles, that OpenManage Network Manager assigns all new users by default. The
permissions available are a combination of those configured here and the User and Power User roles’
permissions. You can remove users from the Power User role altogether, but not from the User role. You
must remove permissions from that User role if you want users not to have them.
