Managing custom views

Custom views offer administrators the ability to create views based on groups of devices you define.

Unlike other IMC device views, custom views enable you to grant and revoke management rights to

operators based on custom views. First, you must create the custom views, add devices to them, and then
grant access to the custom groups in the individual operator accounts.
It is important to also consider the rights and privileges you want to grant or restrict to you and how the

logical grouping of devices can support an effect rights management policy.
For more information about the relationship of custom views and operator rights, see "

Operator

management: managing secure access to IMC

."

You can create one or more custom views based on the IMC security needs and viewing requirements of

their organization.
