Requesting Write Permission
There are two levels of permissions for users logging into Avaya Network Management
Console:
●
Read-write - You are able to both view and make changes to the network and devices.
The following are the assigned permissions at login:
●
No read/write console exists - read/write permission is automatically assigned to your
console.
●
Read/Write console currently exists - your console is assigned read only permission.
Note:
Note:
Only one console may have read/write permission at any given time.
If your console is opened with read only permission, you can request write permission. The
console that currently has read/write permission receives a request from Network Management
Console to release the write permission. There is an allotted amount of time in which the
console with read/write permission must respond to the request. If the console with read/write
permission agrees to the request, or does not refuse the request in the allotted amount of time,
the read/write permission is transferred to the requesting console automatically.
For instructions on setting the Timeout value, see Setting Read/Write Defaults on page 43.
All functionality is supported for a console with read/write permission. This is true whether you
are running Avaya Network Management Console locally or remotely.
All functions that update the server (i.e., adding and removing a device from the map, or running
a discovery process) are disabled on a console with read only permission and all update
commands are inactive. If an update dialog box is open while the console is losing write
permission, the Apply button of the dialog box becomes inactive until write permission is
returned. This also applies to the trap manager.
A console with an open discovery window automatically retains its write permission. Any
requests for write permission from a console with an open discovery window are automatically
denied.
