Creating new toolboxes
Create a toolbox to configure a group of tools to which a user has access. Toolboxes are set up so that some
users can use certain tools but not others. For example, an administrator has access to more tools than a
user.
NOTE: The toolbox name must start with an alphabetic character followed by alphanumeric characters,
embedded blank characters, underscore (_), or dash (-) and must be less than or equal to 16 characters in
length.
To add a toolbox:
1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Toolboxes, and then click New. The New
Toolbox section appears.
2. In the Name field, enter a name for the new toolbox. This field is required.
3. In the Description field, enter a description for the toolbox.
4. Select Toolbox is enabled to enable the toolbox and all authorizations created with this toolbox.
5. In the Show tools in category field, select the category to display a list of tools in the available tools
list. Select the tools to be assigned to this toolbox in the available tools list, and click >>.
The selected tools appear in the Toolbox contents list. You can select a tool displayed in the Toolbox
contents list, and click << to remove it from the assigned tools list.
Note: For limited and no configuration rights users to clear, delete, assign events, and add comments
to events, you must select Configuration Tool from the Show tools in category dropdown list. Then,
select Clear Events, Delete Events, Assign Events, and Comment Events as necessary and click
>> to add them to the Toolbox contents.
6. Click OK to save the new toolbox and close the New Toolbox section. Click Apply to save the settings
without closing the New Toolbox section, or click Cancel to cancel the new toolbox creation and return
to the Toolboxes section.
Command line interface
Users with full configuration rights can use the mxtoolbox command to add toolboxes from the command
line interface (CLI).
Users with limited configuration rights can use the mxexec command to launch command tools on one or
more systems from the CLI. For assistance with this command, see the associated manpage.
See “Using command line interface commands” for information on accessing the manpage.
