Remove User Groups from Security Group Mappings

Only NNMi administrators can change Security Group mappings. See About Security Group Mappings.

Tip NNMi administrators can also use the Security Wizard or command line to complete this task. See Remove User Groups from Security Group Mappings or nnmsecurity.ovpl.

To remove a User Group from a Security Group Mapping:

Note Removing the User Group from a Security Group deletes the mapping between the two (not the User Group or Security Group from the NNMi database).

  1. Select the row representing the Security Group mapping you want to change.

    Note By default, all users assigned to the 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 Userss see all nodes discovered by NNMi (see User Groups Provided in NNMi). To prevent this, delete the Security Group Mapping for NNMi Level 1 Operators (with more limited access privileges than Level 2 Operators), NNMi Level 2 Operators, and NNMi Guest. Then, create one or more Security Groups and remap those User Groups to the appropriate Security Group.

  2. To delete the Security Group mapping, click the  Delete icon.
  3. Click  Save and Close.

    Note If you change the Security Group mapping for a user who is currently signed into the NNMi console, the change does not take effect until the next time the user signs in. By default, the NNMi timeout limit is 18 hours. If a user has not signed out within 18 hours, NNMi forces the user to sign out. To change the Console Timeout value, see Configure the NNMi User Interface.
