Using Server Administrator 53
You can view the Preferences tab after you log in to manage a remote system.
This tab is also available when you log in to manage the Server Administrator
Web server or manage the local system.
Like the Server Administrator home page, the Preferences home page has
three main areas:
• The global navigation bar provides links to general services.
– Clicking
Back to Server Administrator
returns you to the Server
Administrator home page.
• The left-hand pane of the
Preferences
home page (where the system tree is
displayed on the Server Administrator home page) displays the preference
categories for the managed system or the Server Administrator Web server.
• The action window displays the available settings and preferences for the
managed system or the Server Administrator Web Server.
Figure 4-4 shows a sample Preferences home page layout.

When you log in to a remote system, the Preferences home page defaults to
the Node Configuration window under the Preferences tab.
Click the Server Administrator object to enable or disable access to users with
User or Power User privileges. Depending on the user’s group privileges,
the Server Administrator object action window can have the Preferences tab.
