Enabling Level-2 Operators to Delete Nodes or Incidents Related to the Nodes

NNMi administrators can allow specific Level-2 Operators to delete nodes, their associated incidents, or both.

Before you begin,

• Create a Security Group for the purpose of enabling Level-2 operators to delete nodes or incidents. For more information, see Create and Delete Security Groups Using the Security Wizard.
• Create a User Group for the purpose of enabling level-2 operators to delete nodes or incidents. For more information, see Create and Delete User Groups Using the Security Wizard.
• Map the required User Accounts to the User Group. For more information, see Map User Accounts to User Groups (User Account Mapping Form).

• Decide which nodes you want the Level-2 operators to be able to delete.

  Tip NNMi Administrators can create more than one Security Group and User Group if multiple subsets of nodes are required.

To enable Level-2 Operators to delete nodes or incidents related to the nodes, follow these steps:

1. Map the User Group to the Security Group using the mapping type as Object Administrator.

   1. Navigate to the Security Wizard.

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

   3. In the User Groups table, select the required user group.
   4. From the Security Group Mappings drop-down list, select Object Administrator.

   5. From the Security Groups table, click the left arrow in the row of the Security Group you want to assign to the selected User Group.

      The Security Group and User Group names appear in the Security Group Mapping table.

2. Assign the required nodes to the Security Group.

   1. From the Security Wizard main page, select the Assign Nodes to Security Groups option.

   2. In the Available Nodes area, select the required nodes using one of the following methods:

      • Select a Node Group in the Node Group filter drop-down list or select a column filter to specify the nodes to be assigned to the Security Group.
      • Use Ctrl-Click to select each node you want to assign to the selected Security Group.
