Enable event drill-down from Service Manager into OMi

Before operators are able to perform event drill-down from SM into the OMi user interface using a URL launch of the Event Browser, the operators must be set up as valid users with appropriate permissions in OMi.

Note Without valid user names, or if a user does not have the required viewing permissions, any attempt to perform a URL launch of the OMi Event Browser from SM results in an empty browser window.

User account requirements

  • If Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication is configured, set up each user in OMi with the same user name that is used by the SM operator to log on to SM and to perform the URL call. (The password of each OMi user can be any string, but not empty.) After successfully logging on to SM, the OMi users can launch the OMi Event Browser without further authentication.

    For details on setting up SSO, see System Administration > Integrations > Service Manager integration methods and tools > Integration Manager > Using LW-SSO with integrations in the SM online help.

  • If SM is not configured to use SSO authentication, set up each user with the same user name that is used by the SM operator and specify a valid password. The users are required to enter their user name and password when launching the OMi Event Browser.

Required user permissions

  • You must grant the permission Events assigned to user including the required actions to each OMi user.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Select Administration > Users > Users, Groups, and Roles.
    2. Select a role or create a new one. In the Permissions section, go to the Operations Console category, select Events and specify the actions users can perform on Events assigned to user.
    3. You can optionally grant the permission to view events not assigned to each user.
