Setting System Level Permissions

System level permissions provide users the ability to access some or all of the features within System Administration, Automation Library, Event Manager, and OS Image Management.
From within System Permissions, you can create user roles such as, System Administrators, Network Administrators, Policy Managers, and Auditors.
System permissions defines the actions that a user or group is able to complete at the
system level
. System level permissions are independent of the networks or workspaces associated with a user or group. For example, by granting a user or group Job Approve at the system level, the user or group could then approve jobs submitted for any network within Network Configuration Manager.

    Tools
    ->

  6. Assign the system level privileges for the user/group, selecting the areas for which the user/group should have access.
  7. If the user/group does not require one or more of the included task permissions, click that
    related check box
    to de-select the option.
  8. Repeat
    steps 6-7 for
    each area to which the user requires access.
