BOXI R2 Restrict visiblity/access on CMC home page

[Former Member]

We are trying to setup a sub-Administrator group that would be able to add users and update permissions for their specified group(s) but have the ability to do nothing else on the CMC. We have created the sub-Admin group and these users can add/delete permissions and users within their groups. When the user logs into the CMC all items on the home page are visible:

Folders

Objects

Groups

Users

Profiles

Server Groups

Servers

Categories

Personal Categories

Inboxes

Universe Connections

Universes

Calendars

Events

Settings

BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications

License Keys

Authentication

Is there a way to change the visibility or access of the CMC home page so that a specific group would not see the majority of the items and only have access to Folders, Users, and Groups items?

Hi,

In XI R2 and in your case, Please apply the next steps for the following items:

Universes

Universe Connections

Servers

Inboxes

Categories

Server Groups

Profiles

Calendars

Events

Here are the steps (I choose Categories as example):

1. Log on to the Central Management Console (CMC) as administrator.

2. Click Categories > Rights.

3. If your user group is not listed here, please add it through the "Add/Remove" option

4. Click the No Access option in the Access Level drop-down list for that group. Click Update.

5. Do the same things for the others sections.

Then you will notice that Settings, License Keys and Authentication are also removed.

Monia.

Properties ---> User Security and then you will can build security of the categories that
