Assign Product Privileges

Each registered data source has its own product privilege setting, which grants unique privileges within that product interface. Administrators give users product privileges for each data source. For example, the product privilege determines whether a user can log in to or drill down from a Performance Center view to details in the NFA console. Privileges are specific to the data source instance.

Each registered data source has its own product privilege setting, which grants unique privileges within that product interface. Administrators give users product privileges for each data source. For example, the product privilege determines whether a user can log in to
DX NetOps Network Flow Analysis
or drill down from a
NetOps Portal
view to details in the NFA console. Privileges are specific to the data source instance.
The default administrator account, admin, is locked to prevent changes to product privileges. This account must have Administrator privileges for all registered data sources. If you select a group of accounts that includes the admin account, you cannot edit the product privileges for any of the selected accounts.
