Configuring Roles and Profiles

Detailed Steps

Note     Only users belonging to the network-admin role can create roles.

To create an additional role or to modify the profile for an existing role using DCNM-SAN, follow these steps:

1. Expand Switches > Security and then select Users and Roles from the Physical Attributes pane.
2. Click the Roles tab in the Information pane.
3. Click Create Row to create a role in DCNM-SAN.
4. Select the switches on which to configure a role.
5. Enter the name of the role in the Name field.
6. Enter the description of the role in the Description field.
7. (Optional) Check the Enable check box to enable the VSAN scope and enter the list of VSANs in the Scope field to which you want to restrict this role.
8. Click Create to create the role.

Note     Device Manager automatically creates six roles that are required for Device Manager to display a view of a switch. These roles are system, snmp, module, interface, hardware, and environment.
