You can also provide administrator privileges to a user. With administrator
privileges, that user can change the view used for the GUI session (for example,
back to the View All setting). This capability can be useful for an administrator to
test the behavior of a view while in the process of creating it.
When you select individual answers, shared keepalives, locations, or owners as
part of a custom view, keep in mind that the relationship between those
configuration data and the other configuration data in the primary GSSM GUI.
The following is a summary of the relationship between configuration data and
properties in the primary GSSM GUI:
•
DNS rules, answer groups, source address lists, and domain lists specify
owners as a defining property
•
Answer groups specify answers as a defining property
•
Answers specify locations as a defining property
The relationship between configuration data in the primary GSSM GUI has a
direct impact on what configuration data and statistics are visible in a custom
view. For example, if the primary GSSM GUI has four configured owners and you
assign two owners to a custom view, only the DNS rules, answer groups, source
address lists, and domain lists that reference those two owners are visible in the
custom view. The remaining DNS rules, answer groups, source address lists, and
domain lists will be hidden from the primary GSSM GUI pages because they
reference the other two owners not currently included in the custom view.
Creating a GUI User View

1.
From the primary GSSM GUI, click the
Tools
tab.
2.
