How do I create roles?

In this step, you will create roles which specify access rights to specific NSP functions and network resources. Roles are assigned to user groups, providing access rights defined in the roles, including read, write, and execute permissions.

Steps
 

Click + Create Role. The Create Role window opens.


Fill in the required information for the Identification part of the window:

  • Role Name—the name for the role, with no spaces. Required.

  • Description


In the Characteristics part of the window, click the Administrator check box if you want to grant full access to all resource groups and applications.

Note: Checking this box will disable the Action Permissions and Resource Group Access sections, as the options are predefined. If selected, you can skip the next two steps.


Fill in the required permissions for the Action Permissions part of the window:

  • Analytics Reports

  • Data Collection and Analysis Management

  • Device Management

  • Network Intents

  • NE Inventory

Permissions are configured per module and will include some or all of None, Read, Read and Write, Read and Execute, Read, Write, and Execute.


Fill in the required permissions for the Resource Group Access part of the window:

  • Access to all Equipment—Grants full read, write, and execute permissions to all equipment resource groups.

  • Access to all Services—Grants full read, write, and execute permissions to all services resource groups.

  • Permissions—Grants specific access permissions to equipment and services.

  • Group Category—Filters which resource group the applied access permissions affect.
