OS Provisioning permissions

This section describes the permissions required for OS provisioning. For security administrators, the following table answers this question: To perform a particular action, what permissions does a user need?

In the following table, the Server Permission column is for the servers referenced by the OS Build Plans. Server permissions are specified by the Customer, Facility, and Device Groups permissions in the SA Client. To create and save an OS Build Plan in a folder, you will need write permissions to the folder.
