Viewing the roles listing
Roles are used to define user access rights. Users can be assigned to one or more roles where rights are aggregated. TrueSight Network Automation as installed has the following roles:
- Administrator
- Planner
- Manager
- Viewer
Additional standard roles are included to support external reporting or BMC Decision Support – Network Automation systems:
- Report Administrator
- Report Author
- Report Designer
- Report Viewer
The reporting roles have no rights or privileges in TrueSight Network Automation. They exist solely to be imported into other systems for their security purposes. If you do not integrate TrueSight Network Automation with these external systems, you can safely delete these roles.
You can view the roles listing by navigating to Admin > User Admin > Roles. The Roles List page is displayed.
The following figure shows the list of default roles.
The Roles List page has the following menu options:
