User
profiles
User profiles provide a means by which
an administrator
can create and control the access and display of users who attach
to the
Global Manager
through the Global Console, including the VMware Smart Assurance
web console
and the Business Dashboard
. For example, an administrator can create one user profile for operators
who monitor the network infrastructure and a second user profile for
operators who monitor application performance. All user accounts for
a Global Manager
are associated with a user profile.A user profile includes
the following properties:
- A notification list determines what notifications theGlobal Managersends to the users.
- One or more users defined for theGlobal Manager. You must also ensure that these users have access to theGlobal Managerthrough the serverConnect.conf security file. The describes the configuration of security files.
- Server or client tools that enable users to invoke programs in response to notifications. Server and client tools, which are optional, are separately assigned to user profiles.
- One or more saved consoles that open when the user attaches to theGlobal Manager.
- Console operations, which are user actions on the console and determine a user’s access privileges to various functions and commands provided by the Global Console.You can create user profiles with theGlobal ManagerAdministration Console or by using thesm_configutility. Chapter 11, “Importing and Exporting Configurations,” describes thesm_configutility.
