Authorization/Device Access
Profile/Device Mapping Tab


This tab lets you define the specific Profiles to be used by users in each Authorization Group when communicating with network devices. The view consists of a device tree in the left panel where you select devices, and a table in the right panel that lists the current device profile assignments. The Table Editor button   activates the editing row where profile selections are made.

Profile/Device Mapping

Device Tree
The left panel contains a device tree, where you select the devices you want to view or configure.
Profile/Device Mapping Table
This table lists all of the selected devices and shows a column for the NetSight Administrator Group and each Authorization Group you have defined. The NetSight Administrator column shows the profile used by the NetSight Administrator group. The Profile listed/selected for each Authorization Group column will be used by that group when communicating with the associated device and, as a result, defines the level of access granted to users that are members of that Authorization Group.
Table Editor Row
This row is visible when the Show/Hide Table Editor button is toggled to make the Table Editor visible. The drop down list for each Authorization Group column contains all of the Profiles that have been created in the NetSight database, including Ping Only, No Access, and the profile selected on the Profiles/Credentials tab as the Default profile. Selecting a profile in the Table Editor row alters the value for that entry in the row(s) selected in the table. Once you select a profile to be changed for your selected column(s), a green exclamation mark (Apply Needed) marks the cells that have been changed (but not Applied) and the  Apply button becomes active. Clicking the Show/Hide Table Editor (Show/Hide Table Editor button) at this point cancels your changes, restores the original profiles, and hides the Table Editor.

Clicking Apply Apply sets the profiles that you've changed for the selected devices, removes the Apply Needed, and hides the Table Editor row.

Buttons

  Show/Hide Table Editor
This button toggles the Table Editor, a row at the bottom of the table that allows you to define a profile for each Authorization Group. Use the drop down list to select a profile for each group, and then click  Apply.
  Apply
This button is active when the Table Editor is enabled. Apply sets your profile selections for the Authorization Groups, clears the Apply Needed  from the table, and hides the table editor row.
