Function Access

System > Function Access

The Function Access page determines administrator access to VSA modules, folders and function pages, by assigning function pages to administrator roles. This includes administrator access to individual tabs of the Machine Summary page.

You may wish to provide certain personnel limited access to specialized functions. For example, clerical assistants may only require access to trouble tickets and reports. At the other extreme, you may wish to permit only advanced administrators access to SNMP monitoring functions.

Access to Additional Capabilities

You can also control access to additional capabilities, such as Tasks, Messages and Administrator Notes. These display in dark red text.

Master Administrators

Only master administrators have access to the following functions.

All other functions can be delegated to standard administrators.

Administrator Roles

Administrators can belong to none, one, or more administrator roles. If an administrator is assigned to multiple roles, and any one of those assigned roles provides access to a function, then the administrator has access to that function. The following policies are assigned by administrator role:

In addition, scripts and agent installation packages can be shared by administrator role. Standard administrators can only see other administrators who are members of the same roles.

Removing Functions from an Administrator Role

  1. Select an administrator role from the Select administrator role drop down list.
  2. Uncheck all the module, folders and function pages you do not want to let this administrator role use.

Enable All / Disable All

Click Enable All to check all functions. Click Disable All to uncheck all functions.

Lock Settings to Match

All function access changes made to one administrator role can be automatically applied to all other administrator roles that are locked to it. If you create unique administrator roles to isolate access by machine group, but want to give each administrator role the same list of functions, then you can use this feature to manage all function access changes from a single role.

  1. Select the administrator role you want to lock using the Select Administrator Role.
  2. Select the administrator role you want apply changes from using Lock Settings to Match.
