Data Source Product Privileges

Each data source that is registered with CA Performance Center has its own product privilege with unique privileges within that interface. Administrators can assign a product privilege to a data source through CA Performance Center. The data source product privilege applies when users follow a drilldown path from a CA Performance Center data view to that particular data source. However, any privileges granted in this manner are specific to a data source instance. For example, if more than one CA Application Delivery Analysis data source is registered, the product privileges for each management console are managed separately.

The default administrator account, admin, is locked to prevent changes to product privileges. This account is required to have Administrator privileges for all registered data sources. If you select a group of accounts that includes the admin account, you cannot edit the product privileges for any of the selected accounts.
