The rights assigned to each role determine user access to dashboards and menus. Role rights determine the types of views that users can see and whether they can export data and customize settings.
Administrators can grant additional rights to users by editing their role. The Edit Role dialog lists role rights currently assigned to roles. And the Manage Users page shows the role assigned to each user.
Note: Do not remove the administrative role rights from your primary administrator account. Administrative access to the console is required.
The following list describes the available access rights to CA Performance Center features:
The following role rights give users access to administrative features. Limit the number of users with these role rights for increased security.
Lets users register new data sources, test data source connections, view data source status, change data source parameters, and remove data sources. Also lets users view the data source log.
Lets users without full administrative rights manage a specific branch of the Groups tree. With this role right, users can create, change, and delete groups only in the specified branch. The Administrator role and the Tenant Administrator role have this role right by default, allowing administration of All Groups and the Tenant root group, respectively.
Only the Administrator and the owner (creator) of the groups in the administered branch can delete groups in that branch. When an administered group is a child of another group (that is, a subgroup), the administered group is deleted when the parent group is deleted. Administered groups are not deleted when the user account of the owner is deleted.
