You can associate users, user groups, and roles to an entity to control the operations that the users can perform on the entity.
Before You Begin
-
You must have the permissions described in Security Associations.
-
If you are creating a security association on a role (the role is your entity), security on roles must be enabled. For instructions, see Enabling Security on Roles.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, go to the entity node, right-click the entity, and click Properties.
Notes:
-
If you are working with a role, go to Security > Roles, and in the Roles pane, right-click the role and click Edit.
-
If you are working with an alert, from the CommCell Console ribbon, on the Home tab, click Alerts, select the alert, click Edit, and go to the Security step.
-
-
In the entity properties dialog box, on the Security tab, click Add.
The Add Users And Groups dialog box is displayed.
-
Under Users and Groups, select a user or user group.
Tip: If you cannot find a user or user group, enter the name in the Find field.
-
Click Add to move the user or user group to the box below the Add button.
-
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each user and user group you want to include in the security association.
-
Under Role, in the Please select Role box, do one of the following:
-
Select an existing role.
Note: The permissions listed for the selected role are read-only. To add or delete permissions defined for the role, see Editing a Role.
-
To create a role, click Create Role.
For instructions on creating a role, see Creating a Role.
-
To add permissions without creating a role, click Custom Role and then select permissions directly from the permissions list.
-
-
Click OK.
Note: If you are working with an alert, click Finish.
