Adding a Role

Available in HQ Enterprise

This screen allows users to create a new role. Users must have the Hyperic HQ Administrator priveleges to do this.

Tasks Available on This Screen

On this screen, users can do one thing: create a new role.

To create a new role:

  1. Fill in the following fields:
    • Name
    • Description (optional)
  2. Find the categories or inventory levels to which the role (and, by extension, the users assigned to the role) will have access and check the level of access the role will have.
  3. Click .
    On the ensuing "View Role" screen, users can assign users and groups to the role.
The Final Step

Even if users are assigned to the role, the role's (and users') permissions will not apply to any specific resources until a group (of said specific resources) is also assigned to the role.

The role's Owner defaults to the account that created the role.

Next Steps

View all roles
View and edit this role, including assigning users and groups to it
View a group's inventory, where users can assign roles to the group
