2 For a new role, enter the role name and an optional description.
For an existing role, you can change the description and feature access, but not the role name.
3 Select the level of access the role should allow for each feature. The levels of access are:
NOTE
For the predefined roles (Administrator, Manager, and Monitor) you can disable access to EPICenter features, but
you cannot change a feature from Read/Write to Read Only or vice-versa. The Administrator and Manager roles
always provide full access to any features for which access is enabled, and the Monitor role provides only Read
Only access to any features for which access is enabled.
4 Click Apply to create or modify the role.
If features are globally disabled through the Features Properties settings under the Server Properties
Configuration tab, you will not be able to select those features when you add or modify a role. The
Access column will show
Globally Disabled instead of access options. The STP and VoIP features are
globally disabled by default, and this is shown in Figure 173 .
Disabled A user with this role cannot access this feature. The icon will not appear in the
Navigation Toolbar when a user with the role logs into the EPICenter client.
Read Only A user with this role has read only access to this feature. This means the user can see
any status or statistics displays, but cannot make any changes within the applet (such
as discovering or adding devices in the Inventory Manager, creating Topology maps in
the Topology applet, and so on).
Read/Write A user with this role has full access to this feature.
