NSP User Access Control
Description
NSP User Access Control (UAC) is a mechanism that enables an NSP administrator to define user access rights to NSP functions and data. If UAC is disabled, each NSP user has access to all NSP objects.
The NSP supports the creation of local user groups and roles. A role, which is assigned to a user group, can be given read, write, or execute permission to network inventory and data. Consequently, an NSP user has the access defined in a role to only the resources in the associated resource groups defined by an NSP administrator.
Resource groups
To restrict equipment or service access to specific operators, you can define resource groups that contain NSP objects such as equipment and service components, and can specify the user access to each group.
A UAC resource group can include objects such as the following:
