Managing IMC operators
The individual operator account is where all of the features you have used to grant or restrict access to
operator accounts converge. These features include the creation of operator groups, custom views, and
device groups. Once these are created, you can grant or restrict access and management rights to
network resources using them when they configure individual operator accounts.
With operator accounts, you assign to each operator membership in an operator group and access and
management rights to device views and groups. Adding an operator to the administrator group grants
that operator rights to all devices, all device groups and all views, without exception. Thus, to use views
and device groups to manage rights and restrictions to IMC, you must add operators to either the
maintainer or the viewer group.
The sum of operator privileges and restrictions configured in add or modify operator account pages
determines ultimately what devices become visible to each operator in IMC through custom device views
or IMC system defined views.
The rights and restrictions in operator accounts also determine which performance reports, alarms, and
other IMC management and reporting views and features operators see as operators only view
information and features for devices over which they have rights.
To summarize, once you
1. Have created the operator groups that grant or restrict access to IMC features that match the IMC
access requirements of your support organization;
2. Know which operators need rights to manage which network resources, users and services;
3. Have created the device groups and Level 1 custom views as needed.
You are ready to begin creating individual operator accounts. For more information about adding
devices and views, see " 5 Resource management ."
