Creating, Editing, and Viewing Roles

A role is a collection of Enterprise Manager system privileges, or target privileges, or both, which you can grant to administrators or to other roles.

These roles can be based upon geographic location (for example, a role for Canadian administrators to manage Canadian systems), line of business (for example, a role for administrators of the human resource systems or the sales systems), or any other model. Administrators do not want to perform the task of individually granting access to tens, hundreds, or even thousands of targets to every new member of their group.

By creating roles, an administrator needs only to assign the role that includes all the appropriate privileges to his team members instead of having to grant many individual privileges.

He can divide workload among his administrators by filtering target access, or filtering access to management task, or both. For example, he can allow a team of his administrators to view any target and to add any target in the enterprise and another team of his administrators to only perform specific operations such as maintaining and cloning on a target for which they are responsible.

To create, edit, or view a role:

From the Enterprise Manager Grid Control, click Setup.
Click Roles in the vertical navigation bar.
Click the appropriate task button on the Roles page.

Enterprise Manager displays a wizard page for the task you have chosen. Click Help from the wizard page for more information on roles.
