Restricting Access
to 3WXM
This section describes how to restrict access to the 3WXM client
application.
To restrict access to the 3WXM monitoring service, see “Changing Service
Settings” on page 542.
By default, all users who have been successfully authenticated to a system
with 3WXM installed on it can run 3WXM. You can restrict the users
allowed to access 3WXM on a system and define their access privileges
by creating three types of 3WXM user accounts:
■
Administrator — This account can monitor the network, configure
the network, and administer 3WXM. When creating an administrator
account, you must assign an administrator password, which you are
required to provide the next time you configure access privileges.
■
Provision — This account can configure and monitor the network.
■
Monitor — This account can only monitor the network. When users
with a monitor account open a network plan, they can see
configuration changes that have been deployed to the network. Any
configuration changes that have not been deployed are not visible.
The 3WXM user accounts you create must also exist in the Windows
domain or local operating system. Otherwise, those users cannot start
3WXM.
Creating an
Administrator
Account
Before you can restrict user access to 3WXM, you must create an
administrator account. After creating an administrator account, you can
create provision or monitor accounts.
