Using the Security Wizard View

These Configuring Security Wizard pages enables NNMi administrators to configure the following access control features. You can access the wizard pages in any order:

• On the Map User Accounts and User Groups page:

  • User Accounts
  • User Groups
  • User Account / Group Mappings

• On the Assign Nodes to Security Groups page:

  Security Groups

• On the Map User Groups and Security Groups:

  Security Group Mappings

To configure Security using the Security wizard:

1. Determine your Security strategy.
2. Navigate to the Security Wizard.

   1. From the Workspaces navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace.
   2. Expand Security.
   3. Select Security Wizard.

3. Make your configuration choices. Refer to the links to online Help from within the Discovery Wizard.

   NNMi's security model restricts access to the NNMi console based on User Account to User Group mappings. An NNMi administrator can also choose to restrict Node access based on Security Groups and Security Group Mappings (User Group to Security Group).

   Two examples of using the Security Wizard are provided.

   Tip Use these examples as a guideline for configuring security. 

   Select the example that best matches your security configuration requirements:

   • Configure Security Example (Allow a Subset of Users to Access a Subset of Nodes)
   • Configure Security Example (Divide Node Access Between Two or More User Groups)

   Note You can also configure security using the Security Folder in the Configuration workspace. See Using the Security Folder for more information.

4. Click  Save and Close.
5. See Methods for Assigning Nodes to Security Groups.
