Conﬁguring user authorizations

You must be authorized in HP SIM to run the PRM tools. To conﬁgure

user authorizations, you must be logged into HP SIM as a user with Full

Conﬁguration Rights. Refer to mxuser(1M) for information about

viewing and setting conﬁguration rights. Choose

Options->Security->Users and Authorizations from the HP SIM menu

bar. Use the tabs to view and change the toolbox authorizations for each

user. For detailed information about creating and updating

authorizations, refer to the HP SIM online help.

The following list deﬁnes the authorization provided by each of the

toolboxes associated with PRM:

those systems. Authorize on the CMS only if the CMS

will also be a managed system.

PRM Monitor Authorize this toolbox on managed systems to allow

users to monitor the PRM groups. Authorize on the
