Authorizations give the user access to view and manage systems. An authorization is composed of users, toolboxes, and discovered systems. When you first access the Authorizations tab, a table is displayed listing all authorizations and includes the following information:

  • User/User Group. This column includes all valid users and user groups. A user group is indicated by a bold font. Group-based users are not displayed in this table. However, they are listed in the authorizations for users table and are indicated by an italicized font.

  • Toolbox. This column displays the toolboxes assigned to the user or user group for each authorization.

  • System. This column displays the systems on which the user or user group has authorizations. A system group is indicated by a bold font.

Authorizations tab

A system group is a group of systems based on a system collection and used for authorizations. It is a static snapshot of the contents of the collection at the time the system group was created. If you click a system group name in the Systems column, a window appears showing systems that are currently contained in the system group. Click [OK] to close the window. To update the contents of the system group based on its source collection, you must update the authorization.

You can view all authorizations, or you can view filtered authorizations for users, user groups, toolboxes, system groups, and individual systems. Select the option from the Authorizations for box. Next select the name from the Select name box.

The Authorizations tab provides the following options:

  • Creating new authorizations. Select OptionsSecurityUsers and AuthorizationsAuthorizations, and then click [New]. The New Authorizations section appears. This option is not available for group-based users. Instead, create authorizations for the group-based user's user groups.

  • Deleting authorizations. Select OptionsSecurityUsers and AuthorizationsAuthorizations, select authorizations to delete and click [Delete]. A dialog box appears. Click [OK] to delete the authorizations, or click [Cancel] to cancel the deletion. This option is not available for group-based users. Instead, delete authorizations for the group-based user's user groups.

  • Viewing and printing authorization reports. Select OptionsSecurityUsers and AuthorizationsAuthorizations, and then click [Report]. The Authorizations Report pop-up window appears. To print the report, select FilePrint.

  • Updating authorizations. Select OptionsSecurityUsers and AuthorizationsAuthorizations, and select an authorization using a system group based on a collection, and then click [Update]. The Update Authorizations section appears.

To sort the information in ascending or descending order, click the appropriate column heading. The column heading that includes the arrow is the column by which the list is sorted. If the arrow is pointing up, the list is sorted in ascending order. If the arrow is pointing down, the list is sorted in descending order.
