What are NSP operator roles and responsibilities?

NSP operators

Operator responsibilities determine whether you assign Read or Write privileges to the resource groups of an associated role. For example, the administrator role has Write privileges to all resources. A user with an assigned network operator role, however, may have Read access to the NEs in multiple resource groups for troubleshooting purposes, but be granted Write access only to the resource group for the NEs that they maintain.

Note: When only functional access is configured in a role that has no assigned resource groups, the role has full access to all resource groups.

The following table lists and describes typical network operator roles and responsibilities as examples for NSP role creation.
