VMDIRECT MANAGERS File Reference

You define whom your directory managers are and describe the range of their authority to CA VM:Director through the VMDIRECT MANAGERS file. Each directory manager user ID at your site is represented by a group of records in this file. This group of records can include any of the records summarized in the table that follows.

Note: In addition to defining directory managers in this file, you must also authorize these directory managers to use certain CA VM:Director commands, such as ADDENTRY, so that they can use the specifications you enter here. For instance, directory managers cannot use the default device type (which you specify on a DEVTYPE record in this file) unless you let the directory managers create user IDs. You do so by authorizing the directory managers to use the ADDENTRY command.

Note: For more information about creating and enabling directory managers, see Directory Managers.
