Configuring Secure Access Device User Roles (NSM Procedure)
A user role is an entity that defines user session parameters,
personalization settings, and enabled access features. You can customize
a user role by enabling specific Secure Access device access features,
defining Web, application, and session bookmarks, and configuring
session settings for the enabled access features. You can create and
configure user roles through the User Roles page from the Secure Access
device configuration tree.
To configure a user role:
- In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices. Click the Device Tree tab and then,
double-click the Secure Access device for which you want to configure
user roles.
- Click the Configuration tab, select Users > User
Roles. The corresponding workspace appears.
- Click the New button
and the New dialog box appears.
- Add or modify settings on the General tab page
as specified in Table 1.
- Add or modify global role options on the Global
Role Options tab page as specified in Table 2.
- Click one:
- OK—Saves the changes.
- Cancel—Cancels the modifications.
