To limit administrator rights, you assign an account rights at the folder level. The root folders are
/
Bundles
,
/Devices
,
/Policies
, and
/Reports
. Rights assigned at a root folder are effective in all
subfolders (for example,
/Bundles/Workstations
) unless specifically overridden at the subfolder
level.
Depending on the administrative functions you want an administrator to be able to perform, you can
give an account one of the following levels of rights:
Š
All: Provides create, delete, and modify rights to all objects within the folder.
Š
Modify: Provides rights to edit existing objects only.
Š
View: Provides rights to view object information.
For example, if you want an administrator to be able to view bundles that are located in the
/
Bundles
folder and create, delete, or modify bundles in the
/Bundles/Workstations
folder, you
would assign the administrator View rights to the
/Bundles
folder and All rights to the
/Bundles/
Workstation
folder.
To create an administrator account:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab.
2
In the Administrators list, click New to display the Add New Administrator dialog box.
3 Provide a username and password for the account, then click OK to add the account to the
Administrators list.
The administrator can change the password the first time he or she logs in by clicking the key
icon located next to the Logout link in the upper right corner of the ZENworks Control Center.
The newly created administrator account is granted View rights to all objects in the
Management Zone. To grant additional rights, or to limit the administrator’s rights to specific
folders only, you need to modify the rights.
4 In the Administrators list, click the administrator account to display the account details.
5 Modify the assigned rights. For information about the options on the page, click Help or see
Chapter 8, “ZENworks Administrator Accounts,” on page 81 .
6 When you are finished modifying the rights, click Apply to save the changes.
1.4 Delivering Software Packages
Software packages are delivered to devices through the use of RPM bundles and catalogs.
An RPM bundle is a grouping of one or more software packages. Bundles contain one or more files
that are installed to particular locations on a device, plus information about the bundle, such as
version, description, what applications must also be present for it to be installed, and more. A
catalog is a group of bundles.
The fundamental difference between RPM bundles and catalogs is that the software in bundles is
automatically installed, but users can choose whether or not to install the software included in
catalogs. Catalogs are displayed in the ZENworks Linux Management Updater Client, which is part
of the ZENworks Agent. For more information, see
Section 6.3, “Using the Software Updater,
Installer, and Remover from Users’ Managed Devices,” on page 54 .
You can define both the deployment schedule and the installation schedule for a bundle. The
deployment schedule determines when the bundle's software packages are copied to the device. The
installation schedule determines when the packages are installed on the device.
