Object Access Privileges Provided in NNMi

As an NNMi administrator, when you map User Groups to Security Groups, you also determine the Object Access Privilege.

The Object Access Privilege determines the level of access each User Account in the User Group has to the nodes associated with the assigned Security Group. See Control Menu Access and Actions provided by NNMi for more information.

NNMi provides the following Object Access Privileges. Each can be used in any number of Security Group Mappings:

• Object Administrator
• Object Operator Level 2
• Object Operator Level 1 (with more limited access privileges than Level 2)
• Object Guest

You cannot change the Object Access Privileges definitions that NNMi provides.
