NMS300 Network Management System Application
Manage Users and Security Profiles User Manual261
Security profile concepts
The application provides the following default user security profiles:
• Admin. A
user who can perform all functions of the application, including management of
users and security profiles.
• Operator.
A user who can manage the network functions, but cannot manage users or
security profiles, or perform administrative tasks.
• Observer.
A user who can only monitor and view network functions.
As an admin user, you can modify and delete these security profiles and you can define new
security profiles. For example, you can add a security profile for someone who can only run
and view network reports but is not authorized to perform any other tasks.
Add a security profile
If one of the default security profiles does not satisfy your needs, you can add a security
profile and specify the tasks that are associated with the security profile. For most functions,
you can specify whether the security profile includes viewing only, modifying only, or both
viewing and modifying. You can specify the following tasks in a security profile:
• Monitoring
• Configuring
• Managing alarms
• Managing topologies
• Discovering
• Reporting
• Managing jobs
• Managing users and security profiles
• Performing administrative tasks
