Use the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Grid Manager Administration tab to manage permission groups. On the tab you can assign group access for workflow execution, or assign grid administration permissions as shown in the following figure:

Managing grid permissions by using the Grid Permissions tab

This topic provides the following information:

In the Grid Manager, you can assign permissions to the group so the group members can:

See the Status tab
See the Manage tab
See the Admin tab
Use BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio with this grid and execute workflows
Use a selected Operations Actions Management module
Run a workflow in BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio
Note

To assign group permissions for a module, the module must be activated on the grid and the workflow must be exposed for the Operator Control Panel (OCP) or SOAP as required.

Default grid permissions
