When creating admin user groups, you select one or more permissions to control access to specific features of the Grid Manager. You can then assign each user to one or more of these admin groups to determine which tasks that user can perform.
You must assign at least one permission to each group; otherwise, users belonging to that group will not be able to sign in to the Grid Manager.
By default, any user who belongs to a group that has at least one permission can perform the following tasks:
| Management permission | Description |
|---|---|
| Root Access | Provides access to all grid administration features. |
| Manage Alerts | Provides access to options for managing alerts. Users must have this permission to manage silences, alert notifications, and alert rules. |
| Acknowledge Alarms (legacy system) | Provides access to acknowledge and respond to alarms (legacy system). All signed-in users can view current and historical alarms. If you want a user to monitor grid topology and acknowledge alarms only, you should assign this permission. |
| Grid Topology Page Configuration | Provides access to the following menu options:
|
| Other Grid Configuration | Provides access to additional grid configuration options. Attention: To see these additional options, users must also have the Grid Topology Page Configuration permission.
|
| Tenant Accounts | Provides access to the page. Note: Version 1 of the Grid Management API (which has been deprecated) uses this permission to manage tenant group policies, reset Swift admin passwords, and manage root user S3 access keys.
|
| Change Tenant Root Password | Provides access to the Change Root Password button on the Tenant Accounts page, allowing you to control who can change the password for the tenant's local root user. Users who do not have this permission cannot see the Change Root Password button. Note: You must assign the Tenant Accounts permission to the group before you can assign this permission.
