Deleting Aging Logs

pane on the left side of the screen.

Users

In ADM, there are two types of users: administrators and operators. If you log in as an operator, you do not
have access to the Manage, Detail Discovery, and Connectors tabs. If you log in as an administrator, you have
access to all the tabs.
On the Discover > Inventory page, only an administrator can perform the following actions:

Delete: Removes a selected item entirely.

Add to Group: Adds a selected item to a group.

Remove from Group: Removes a selected item from a group.
Selected items consist of hosts, services, and devices.
Only administrators can add, copy, edit, delete, enable, and disable authorized system users. Navigate to
Manage > Users to perform these actions:

Add User: Creates a new user definition.

Copy User: Makes a copy of an existing user definition.

Edit User: Modifies an existing user definition.

Delete User: Deletes a user definition.

Enable User: Enables a user definition.

Disable User: Disables a user definition.
The VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager Online Help provides step‐by‐step instructions on how to
perform these actions.

Role-Based Access Control

ADM provides role‐based access control. This allows you to assign permission to a role instead of directly
assigning permission to a user. ADM roles define the basic permission level for operations that users assigned
to the role can perform. When there is a large amount of data in your environment, role‐based access control
helps to discover just the information that you might be interested in.
You specify role‐based access control when you add a user. You must select the operator role, select the Enable
Role Based Access Control check box, and select one or more existing groups. This ensures that the operator
account has access only to certain groups. Only those groups are displayed for the operator in ADM.
