DXManager Roles

A role defines what screens a user can see in DXmanager, which limits the tasks they can do. Every DXmanager login account has one or more roles.

You can assign each user to one or more of the following roles in ascending order of access:

dxmanagerMonitor: Users with the Monitor role can only monitor DSAs and customize monitoring functionality.
dxmanagerControl: Users with the Control role can start, stop, and initialize DSAs.
dxmanagerChange: Users with the Configure role can change the configuration of the backbone, and deploy the new configuration to the hosts.
dxmanagerSuperUser: Users with the Superuser role can set system properties. When you installed CA Directory, you created a password for a DXmanager user with the Superuser role.

Roles are hierarchical, so if an account has the superuser role, then it also has the abilities of all lesser roles.

Note: Users with more than one role assigned to them are granted the privileges of the role with the highest level of access.

The following table summarizes the privileges associated with these roles:
