Determine which NNMi User Group to Assign

Before configuring NNMi sign-in access for your team, determine which predefined NNMi User GroupNNMi User Groups are those User Groups provided by NNMi. Users cannot access the NNMi console until their User Account is mapped to at least one of the following NNMi User Groups: NNMi Administrators, NNMi Level 2 Operators, NNMi Level 1 Operators (with more limited access privileges than Level 2 Operators), and NNMi Guest Users is appropriate for each team member. The User Groups are hierarchical, meaning the higher level User Groups include all privileges of the lower level User Groups in the hierarchy (Administrator is highest, Guest is lowest).

As NNMi administrator, you can change the following aspects of User Group definitions:

• Control Menu Access (restrict access to certain NNMi Actions menu items and Tools menu items - provide tighter security than those enforced by the default settings.) See also Configure Launch Actions for more information about adding options to the NNMi Actions menu.
• Configure Basic Settings for a Node Group Map. (For each Node Group Map, the Minimum NNMi Role for Saving Map Layout attribute setting controls the minimum User Group required for saving the layout after the user repositions nodes on the map. The NNMi RoleDetermined by your membership in one of four special NNMi User Groups (NNMi Administrators, NNMi Level 2 Operators, NNMi Level 1 Operators, or NNMi Guest Users). This membership determines what you can see and do within the NNMi console. is assigned to a User Account through the NNMi User Group.
• Set Up Command Line Access to NNMi (Use to control access to NNMi command line commands.)

The following table lists the User Group required to access NNMi workspaces. You cannot modify User Group settings for workspaces. See Views Available in NNMi for more information about the views provided in each workspace.
