New Administrative Authorization Group

Use this page to create a new administrative authorization group and to specify the associated administrative resources.

To view this administrative console page, click Security > Administrative Authorization Groups > New.

We must be logged into the administrative console with cell-level AdminSecurityManager authority, or the primary administrative ID can make these changes as well.

Name

Use to identify the new administrative authorization group. The name should be descriptive of the group's role, or purpose, and should be unique in the cell structure. Using a non-unique name results in an error and a failure to create the new administrative authorization group. This is a required field.

Resources

Select the resources from the Resource section to which we want the new administrative authorization group to control access.

Resources that are displayed in black text are available for selection.

Resources that are displayed in grey are already members of a different administrative authorization group. Therefore, these resources are not available for inclusion in the new administrative authorization group. When a resource is a member of a different authorization group, the name of the group displays next to the resource name. For example: server_1 (group_1)

The available filtering options are the following. Each option includes all the resources associated with that specific filtering option.
