6-2 Understanding RADview User Security Levels RV-EMS/NGN LA-210
The menus always look the same for all users. If a user attempts to display a
dialog box or to select a menu item that he is not permitted to access, a message
will be displayed stating that he has no permission to access that function.
For example: clicking a Set
button, or another RW function, requires read and
write access. Therefore, a user with read-only access who tries to access these
functions will be denied access.
Only an Administrator can add or remove nodes from the Service Center map. For
further details, refer to the chapter on Security in the RADview-EMS/NGN System
Manual.
Monitor
A user at the Monitor level may monitor all types of information related to the
managed device, but cannot do any action that causes any change in the device.
This means that any action that writes data to the agent is disallowed. Examples
of write (set) operations include:
• Set
• Apply
• Delete
• Change
• Add
• Remove
These operations are disallowed, whether from attempted from within a dialog
box or selected via a menu option. The NMS provides feedback on a disallowed
operation in one of the following ways:
• To obtain maximum information, the Monitor can change any fields (edit,
combo-box, etc.) in a dialog box, but these changes cannot be activated
because the write operations are blocked. Attempting to activate a change
will be rejected, and the Monitor user will be notified via an information
dialog box.
• Some dialog boxes do not provide any additional information, but merely
allow changes in the system. Since a Monitor cannot use these dialog boxes,
they cannot be displayed at all at this level.
A Monitor level user has write access to the following (system level) LA-210
Agent functions:
• Poll the LA-210 Agent
• View the history log
