User interface pages contain controls, such as buttons and links, that perform specified functions. The functions are described by the text of the links and buttons.
Note: Disabled buttons are grayed out. Buttons that are irrelevant to the selection or current system state, or which represent unauthorized actions as defined in Group Administration, are disabled. For example, Delete is disabled for users without Global Data Delete permission. Buttons are also disabled if, for example, multiple servers are selected for an action that can only be performed on a single server at a time.
Table 1 contains examples of Action buttons.
