Group and User Rights Templates
When you create new groups and users in Manager, the Group Rights and User Rights templates let you assign prearranged sets of rights based on user categories. The rights granted by the templates progress from End User (with no rights) to the Administrator (with all rights). You can use these templates as a starting point, and change the rights to suit your purposes:
Template Name
Description
End User
Starts with no TDV rights; however, the user can request data through ODBC, JDBC, and Web service clients. Data is still protected by privileges set at the data source. The end user template does not include rights to use Studio or TDV application tools.
Developer
Grants access to tools, and lets the developer view all status.
Operations
Grants access to tools; lets the operations person read server configurations, and read and modify all status.
Operations Administrator
Grants access to tools; lets the operations administrator read and modify server configurations, view all status, use all Monitor functionality, and modify all server configurations.
Backup
Grants access to tools; lets the backup-user read server configurations, view all status, and read (but not write) resource and user data for backup purposes.
Restore
Grants access to tools; lets the restore-user view and modify server configurations, all resources and all users.
Backup & Restore
Grants all Backup template and Restore template rights.
KPI
Grants access to tools; lets a user managing KPI policies read and modify all resources, and read all status.
RBS and CBS
Grants access to tools; lets a user managing security policies read and modify all resources, read and modify all server configurations, and read all users.
Workload Management
Grants access to tools; lets a user managing workload policies read and modify all resources, read and modify all server configurations, and read all users.
Administrator
Grants complete access, and rights to change everything in the TDV system, except system tables that are locked to ensure system functionality. All rights are required to gain access to and use Manager.
Security of the TDV Server can disallow package export by users who are not members of a specified group. Package export can also be restricted to the resource owner, or to users with Write privilege on the resource. The admin user can perform package export for any resource.
