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.
