Configure Security Example (Allow a Subset of Users to Access a Subset of Nodes)

This example uses NNMi's security configuration to allow a subset of users to access only those nodes in Building 5. The remaining users can access all nodes discovered by NNMi.

This location includes an NNMi Level 1 Operator (with more limited access privileges than Level 2 Operators) and an NNMi Level 2 Operator. Jeff is an NNMi Level 2 Operator who can access only the nodes in Building 5.

Note Be sure to create a User Account that is mapped to the NNMi Administrator User Group so that one person has access to the Configuration workspace and all the nodes in the network.

The following table lists the NNMi console access requirements (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) and node access requirements (User Group, Object Access Privilege and Security Group) for each User Account.

Note You can place all operators into the NNMi Level 2 Operators if you want all operators to see all menu options, but only have the ability to run them based on their Object Access Privilege.

Example Security Configuration
User Accounts	NNMi User Groups	User Groups	Object Access Privileges	Security Groups
Jim	NNMi Level 1 Operators	Lev1Buildings1-4 Lev1Building5	Object Operator Level 1	Default Security Group
Cathy	NNMi Level 2 Operators	Lev2Buildings1-4 Lev2Building5	Object Operator Level 2	Default Security Group
Jeff	NNMi Level 2 Operators	Lev2Building5	Object Operator Level 2	Building 5 Nodes

To set up security for this location follow these procedures:

Remove the Default Security Group Mapping to NNMi User Groups: NNMi Level 1 Operators, NNMi Level 2 Operators, and NNMi Guest

Note The 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 Userss are provided for those NNMi administrators who are not concerned with Security configuration. After you remove these Security Group Mappings, the NNMi User Groups provide access to the NNMi console only rather than to the NNMi console and to all nodes.
Create the User Accounts. (See the Example Security Configuration table.)
Create Additional User Groups. (See the Example Security Configuration table.)
Map User Accounts to NNMi User Groups. (See the Example Security Configuration table.)
Create the Building 5 Security Group.
Map each Security Group to the new User Groups. (See the Example Security Configuration table.)

Assign the nodes to the appropriate Security Group.
