Restricting Access to Programs

Access to programs can only be restricted by the Administration Server. Restricting access to programs allows only specified users to view the Server Manager pages and determines if they can configure the server. For example, you might allow some administrators to configure the Users & Groups section of the administration server but might deny them access to modify Global Settings.

You can configure different users to access different functional domains. Once a user setup with access to a few selected functional domains logs in the Administration Server pages from only those functional domains are visible to the user.

• All Programs allows or denies access to all programs. By default administrators have access to all programs for a server.

• Only the following Program Groups allows you to specify which programs the user has access to. Select the program from the drop-down list. You can choose multiple program groups by pressing the Control key while clicking on the groups. You can restrict access to the following programs groups:

  • None (default)

  • Servers

  • Preferences

  • Global Settings

  • Users & Groups

  • Security

  • Cluster Mgmt

    The Program Groups listed reflect the tabs of the Administration Server, for example, Preferences and Global Settings, and represent access to those pages. When an administrator accesses the Administration Server, the server uses their username, host, and IP to determine what pages they can view.

  Program Items allows you to enter a page name in the Program Items field to control access to a specific page within a program.
