Role Based Access in Symantec Altiris 7.1 SP2

    Hi,

    I need to know if by using SMP security user accounts, roles and permission how can we apply the following scenario:

    1. Provide pcAnywhere operations to a separate IT team that can view, perform functions and manage everything related to pcAnywhere
    2. Provide Patch Mangement operations to a separate IT team that can view, perform fucntions and manage everything related to Patch Management.

    Basically I want to be able to let different IT teams view and manage their part of the SMP or solution console and nothing else.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Iftikhar

    Yes.  There is a predefined role for Patch Management Administrators.

    There are several different KBs for creating a pcAnywhere security role, but I think the first one is easiest to follow and most comprehensive:

    Does this answer your question?
