Using Responsibilities to Allow Limited Access to Server Administration Views

You can configure responsibilities to grant specific users access to some, but not all, of the server administration views in Siebel Business Applications. For example, LOV administrators require access to the LOV administration screens to add new LOV values in multiple languages; however, they do not require access to other administration views. Likewise, the system administrator must be able to access the server management views to monitor the server performance, but only the Siebel administrator requires access to the server configuration views through which Siebel Business Applications are configured.

The following procedure describes how to provide access to a defined set of Siebel Server administration views for specific users.

To allow limited access to server administration views

1. Create a new responsibility, for example, create a responsibility with the name SubAdminRole.

   For information on creating responsibilities, see Setting Up Responsibilities and Adding Views and Users.

2. In the Views list, associate the new responsibility with the Administration - Server views that you want to allow users with the responsibility to access.
3. In the Users list, add users to the SubAdminRole responsibility you have just created. Make sure that the users do not have Siebel Administrator responsibility.
4. Change the value of the AdminRoles parameter for the Server Manager (ServerMgr) component by issuing the following command:

   srvrmgr> change param AdminRoles="Siebel Administrator,SubAdminRole" for compdef ServerMgr

5. Add the following parameter to the Gateway Name Server gateway.cfg file.

   Section	Parameter	Value
   [InfraNameServer]	NSAdminRole	Siebel Administrator,SubAdminRole

   For information on the gateway.cfg file, see About Authentication for Gateway Name Server Access.

6. Stop and restart the Siebel Server.

   Users assigned the SubAdminRole responsibility can now access the Siebel Server Administration views you associated with that responsibility.
