Creating Role Elements
Before creating roles and assigning them to your BSC users, create the following elements
that comprise a role:
•
destinations - Create the destinations (i.e., hosts, devices, network addresses) that the
users can potentially access as described in "Creating Destinations and Destination
Groups" on page 8-10.
•
network services - Define the network services that users can access, i.e. the services
that can be passed through the BSC as described in "Creating Network Services and
Services Groups" on page 8-13.
•
schedules - Optionally create schedules that restrict data traffic from users to specified
periods of time as described in "Creating Schedules and Schedule Groups" on
page 8-17.
•
locations - Optionally define locations (using VLANs) that specify the location of users
on the managed side of the network as described in "Creating Locations and
Location Groups" on page 8-19.
Creating Destinations and Destination Groups
Before you create roles and assign them to your BSC users, you need to define the
