Manage the visibility of functionality for a Management Client profile

Associate Management Client profiles with roles to limit the user interface to represent the functionality available for each administrator role.

Associate a Management Client profile with a role

1. Expand the Security node and click Roles.
2. On the Info tab in the Role Settings window, associate a profile with a role. For more information, see Info tab (roles).

Manage the overall access to system functionality for a role

Management Client profiles only handle the visual representation of system functionality, not the actual access to it.

To manage the overall access to system functionality for a role:

1. Expand the Security node and click Roles.
2. Click the Overall Security tab and select the appropriate check boxes. For more information, see Overall Security tab (roles).

On the Overall Security tab, make sure to enable the Connect security permission in order to grant all roles access to the Management Server.

Apart from the built-in administrator role, only users associated with a role that has been granted Manage security permissions for the management server on the Overall Security tab, can add, edit, and delete Management Client profiles.

Limit visibility of functionality for a profile

You can change settings for the visibility of all Management Client elements. By default, the Management Client profile can see all functionality in the Management Client.

1. Expand the Client node and click Management Client Profiles.
2. Select a profile and click the Profile tab.
3. Clear the check boxes for the relevant functionality in order to remove the functionality visually from the Management Client for any Management Client user with a role associated with this Management Client profile.
