Assign Permission Groups to User Accounts

Individual operators require data access permissions to monitor data in the products. Access permissions are based on groups. You can assign access permissions according to your plan for custom groups. Your goal as the administrator is to make sure that all operators see only the data they require to do their job.

For example, suppose you create custom groups and assign them as permissions to IT staff. When staff members log in to CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center, they can view data from the systems that are assigned to them.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Console for CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center as a user with administrative privileges.
2. Click Admin, User Settings: Users.

   The Manage Users page (CA PC) or User List page (NPC) opens.

3. Select a user account that you want to change, and click Edit.

   The Edit User wizard or dialog opens.

4. Display the permission groups:
   • (CA PC) Click the Access Permissions button.
   • (NPC) Locate the Permission Groups pane in the middle of the page.

   The group settings are displayed.

5. Add permission groups to the user account
   • Expand the groups in the Available Groups tree on the left so that subgroups are shown.
   • Select a group or subgroup.
   • Click the right arrow or Add button to add the group.
   • Repeat as necessary.

   The selected permission groups appear in the Selected Groups pane.

6. Select the default group for the user--the data that appears by default in the dashboards for the user:
   • (CA PC) Right-click the target group and select Make Default.
   • (NPC) Select the target group and click Make Default.
7. Click Save.

   The changes are saved to the user account, and you return to the Manage Users page.

   When the user logs in, data from the default group appears in dashboards by default.
