20 Overview of Management Console Administration

Administering the Management Console involves these tasks:

  • Setting up Management Console users and user groups

    The Management Console supports granular control of the managed instances a user may view and actions a user may perform. The Management Console employs user groups as an efficient way to manage permissions and servers. Instead of administering these items at the user level, you can associate permissions to a user group. You can determine which JD Edwards EnterpriseOne users have access to the Management Console and the user group or user groups to which the user should belong.

  • Assigning permissions to user groups

    The Management Console contains two sets of permissions that you can assign to user groups: global permissions and server group permissions. Global permissions allow members of a user group to perform particular administrative tasks in the Management Console. Server group permissions allow users to perform certain administrative tasks on the servers that are managed centrally through the Management Console.

  • Creating server groups

    • Control the default configuration for all servers in a group.

    • Manage updates to the server group members from one release to the next.

    • Control the tasks that Management Console users can perform on the servers in a server group.
