Configuring Pages and User Access
This section describes adding pages to your OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) installation,
and configuring role-based user views. This is a way to manage user access to the OMNM features
in a more complex environment. Configuring pages and user access involves:
•
Creating Users
•
Creating and Rearranging Pages
•
Setting Page-Level Permissions
•
Setting Portlet-Level Permissions
•
Setting Resource-Level Permissions
Pages display portlets in the following ways:
Creating Users
Create users as follows.
1
Go to the Control Panel.
2

Users and Organizations
, then click the
Add > User
menu
item.
3
Fill out the User form with name and email address and so on.
4
Click Save when finished.
The save was successful message appears.
NOTE:
The expanded form lets you fill out more information about the user.
5
Select the Password, enter a password for the user, and then click
Save.
6

Roles
link.
A screen appears showing the roles to which your ID is currently assigned. By default, all users
are assigned the Power User role, and to the User role.
Display Mode Description
Summary/
Minimized Mode
Any portlet's that have the Settings toolbar option (Filters and Max Results) can
save/toggle the Current Filter, Max Results, Max Items Per Page, and column
choices. See Portlet Tools and Options on page 128.
Note: The Max Results settings for summary portlets differ from those for
maximized/expanded portlets.
If you are an Admin and are on the Main portal site, OpenManage Network Manager
saves these permanently. If you are a REGULAR user they are only saved temporarily
unless the portlet is on your personal Public/Private pages. See Public/Private Page
Behavior on page 24 for details.
Maximized/
Expanded Mode
The Settings button in expanded portlets lets you configure displayed columns and
their order, and the number of items to display. If the number of items in a list
exceeds the maximum specified, a [limit reached] message appears next to the
number of items listed in the bottom right corner of the page.
Note: For large list, filters are a more efficient use of computing resources than large
maximum settings. See Defining Advanced Filters on page 147 for more about
configuring filters.
