Specifying Permissions for an Object

The Security tab in the details pane enables an administrator to modify the permissions for the selected object. These permissions apply whether the administrator creates the object in administration mode or whether they are dynamically created by an AC event report.

The permissions for Topology Textbox class are as follows:

Delete

Allows deletion of the object.

Modify

Allows updates to the properties of the object in Administration mode. This does not control the updating of the object properties through AC event reports.

Read

Allows this object to be viewed in Operations Sentinel. This permission controls whether the object appears in both administration mode and operations mode.

When set, these permissions override the default permissions set on the class.

To view or update permissions

  1. In the Administration mode, select UI Tools node in the navigation pane. In the display pane, select Topology Textbox class.

  2. Select the Security tab in the details pane. The Security tab displays the Operations Sentinel roles on the left side. When you select a role from the list, Operations Sentinel displays the permissions for that role on the right side.

  3. To update any of the existing permissions, set or clear the Allow or Deny box.

  4. Save the changes.
