system tree

selected system tree object based on the user's access privileges. The action
window contains three functional areas:
– The action tabs display the primary actions or categories of actions that
are available for the selected object based on the user's access privileges.
– The action tabs are divided into subcategories of all available secondary
options for the action tabs based on the user's access privileges.
–The
data area
displays information for the selected system tree object,
action tab, and subcategory based on the user's access privileges.
Additionally, when logged in to the Server Administrator home page,
the system model, the assigned name of the system, and the current user's
user name and user privileges are displayed in the top-right corner of
the window.
