Managing NerveCenter Security

NerveCenter security allows access for two different groups. A NerveCenter administrator must add users to an appropriate user group before they can use NerveCenter.

On Windows NT, the NerveCenter Server authenticates users against the Windows NT built-in security. On UNIX, the NerveCenter Server authenticates users against the local machine or an NIS database. Membership in the appropriate groups determines what privileges users have within NerveCenter.

Members of the ncadmins group on UNIX or the NerveCenter Admins group on Windows NT can configure NerveCenter and create and modify behavior models. Members of the ncusers group on UNIX or the NerveCenter Users group on Windows NT can monitor network status and reset alarms. For more details about privileges, see the section NerveCenter Login Rights.
