Devices | Use the Devices folder to view discovered servers (servers that have booted but are not yet provisioned), prediscovered servers (servers that have not yet booted but are added to the system), and provisioned servers. The Devices folder also lets you create and run Provision Jobs on servers. For more information, see Monitoring the provisioning status of devices and Creating a Provision Job. |

After you define roles, you can assign users to those roles, and the users are granted the authorizations assigned to their current roles. The RBAC Manager folder also provides other tools for managing authorizations. For a complete description of the RBAC Manager folder, see Managing access. |
Search | Use Search to scan and retrieve information about objects in the BMC Server Automation environment. You specify search criteria to construct queries that search all objects in the BMC Server Automation database. Search results appear in a Search view and can be saved to a smart group (see Defining a smart group). For more information about Search, see Searching for objects. |
