3. To save the new authorization and close the New Authorizations section, click OK, or, if you
do not want to create the authorization, click Cancel.
NOTE: When you add CMS tools to any other system, a warning appears alerting you that the
authorization just added contains an HP SIM-based tool in the toolbox and that the CMS server
was not selected. The warning also states that the authorization was created but might not authorize
the user on all the selected tools. Some tools in HP SIM are used to manage HP SIM itself. For
example, discovery or viewing the HP SIM audit log. This error means that one or more of these
tools were in a selected toolbox and the CMS was not one of the selected systems. To correct this
error, select the CMS as one of the target systems.
NOTE: When upgrading to HP SIM 5.x from any other version of HP SIM, any system groups
that the user created are migrated, but become top-level collections. To manage these system
groups, use the feature to edit a collection and update an authorization. For more detailed
information, see Editing system and cluster collections and Updating authorizations.

Creating new toolboxes
Create a toolbox to configure a group of tools for each user who has access. Toolboxes are set
up so that some users can use certain tools but not others. For example, an administrator has access
to more tools than a user.
The HP SIM Tools category includes tools that are related to configuration rights on the HP SIM
server itself. In previous versions of HP SIM, these rights were only enabled to full configuration
rights users. With HP SIM 5.2 or later, any user can be granted these rights if needed based on
an authorization. These tools include: Delete Systems in HP SIM, Edit any user tasks in HP SIM,
Edit HP SIM Notification Settings, Edit HP SIM Reports, Edit Shared Collections in HP SIM, Edit
Systems in HP SIM, Modify HP SIM Events, Run HP SIM Discovery, and View HP SIM Audit Log.
NOTE: The toolbox name must start with an alphabetic character followed by alphanumeric
characters, embedded blank characters, underscore (_), or dash (-) and must be less than or equal
to 16 characters in length.
