TARTED
By default, all users who have been successfully authenticated to a system
with 3WXM installed on it can run 3WXM. You can restrict the users
allowed to access 3WXM on a system and define their access privileges
by creating three types of 3WXM user accounts:
Administrator—This account can monitor the network, configure
the network, and administer 3WXM. When creating an administrator
account, you must assign an administrator password, which you are
required to provide the next time you configure access privileges. This
account also can remove locks.
Provisioning User—This account can configure and monitor the
network. However:
The Plan Management options are unavailable.
All configuration options in the 3WXM Services Setup dialog box
are unavailable.
Monitor User—This account can only monitor the network. When
users with a monitor account open a network plan, they can see
configuration changes that have been deployed to the network. Any
configuration changes that have not been deployed are not visible.
On the Tools menu, the Certificates option is greyed out.
All tasks for creating configuration items are greyed out.
All configuration options in the 3WXM Services Setup page are
greyed out.
Options to deploy and undo local changes and accept or undo
network changes are not available.
The options on the right-click menu in the Organizer panel are
greyed out.
Configuration items that are related specifically to monitoring
(logs, managed devices, site surveys and work orders) can be
configured. However, new network plans cannot be configured.
The 3WXM user accounts you create must also exist in the Windows
domain or local operating system. Otherwise, those users cannot start
3WXM.
