Version
26.1.0

When you create a non-Administrator user account, its default access right is Hide. A user account with this access right can't view any objects in Address Manager. You need to grant the proper level of access rights for users or groups so that they can view and manage the objects.

Note: Address Manager doesn't allow you to set default access rights for Non-Administrator +API users. Access rights for this user and access type combination must be set at the configuration level or lower. For more information, refer to User types and access types.

To create or modify the access rights and overrides for users or groups:

  1. Select the Settings tab in the sidebar.
  2. Under User management, select Access rights.
  3. To create new access rights, select Assign access right. To edit existing access rights, select the row containing the user or group in the Access rights table, then select Edit in the expanded details section.
  4. (If creating new access rights) Enter a user or user group in the User or group field.
    Tip: To find a username quickly, click the text field and type the name of a user. As you type, a list of users matching your text appears.
  5. Under Default access level, define the default level of access rights for the user or user group. Select from the following options:
    • View—users can see objects, but can't add, delete, or change objects.
    • Change—users can see and change objects, but can't add or delete objects.
    • Add—users can see, add, and change objects, but can't delete objects.
    • Full access—users can see, add, change, and delete objects.
  6. When you select Change, Add, or Full access, a Workflow level field appears. Workflow options apply to zones, resource records, networks, and IP addresses. Select a workflow option:
    • None—changes made by the user or group take effect immediately.
    • Recommend—changes made by the user or group are saved as change requests and must be reviewed and approved before they take effect.
    • Approve—changes made by the user or group take effect immediately and the user or group can approve change requests from other users or groups.
  7. Select either the Allow deployments, Allow quick deployments, or Allow selective deployments check box (or all check boxes):
    • Allow deployments—When selected, the user or group can perform a full deployment of data from the configuration to a managed server. When not selected, the user or group can't perform a full deployment. Only administrators or users with deployment privilege can deploy data.
      Note: To grant a non-administrative user or group deployment privilege, you must first select Full access as the default access right.
    • Allow quick deployments—When selected, the user or group can instantly deploy changed DNS resource records with the Quick deploy function. When not selected, the Quick deploy function doesn't appear for the user or group.
      Note: You don't have to select Deployment to allow the user or group to use the Quick Deploy function.
    • Allow selective deployments—When selected, the user or group can perform a selective deployment of data to a managed server using the Address Manager API, and automatically deploy resource records that are added, updated, and deleted within a DNS zone that has the Dynamic Update field selected. When not selected, the user or group can't perform a selective deployment and resource record changes made by the user and group are not automatically deployed within a DNS zone, even if the Dynamic Update field is selected. For more information on selective deployment and how to perform a selective deployment, refer to the "Selective Deployment" section in the Address Manager v1 Legacy API Guide. For more information on enabling dynamic updates within a zone, refer to Creating DNS zones.
      Note: You don't have to select Allow deployments to allow the user or group to use the Selective deployment function
  8. On the Overrides tab, set the permissions for Address Manager objects:
    • Access control lists
    • Configuration
    • Deployment options
    • Deployment schedules
    • DHCP zones
    • Devices
    • Locations
    • GSS kerberos realms and principals
    • IPv4 space
    • IPv6 space
    • MAC addresses and pools
    • Resource records
    • Servers
    • Tags
    • TFTP
    • TSIG keys
    • Views and zones

    When you select the check box for an item, a drop-down menu appears. Select a permission from the list:

    • Hide—objects are hidden from the user.
    • View—users can see objects but can't add, delete, or change objects.
    • Change—users can see and change objects, but can't add or delete objects.
    • Add—users can see, add, and change objects, but can't delete objects.
    • Full Access—users can see, add, change, and delete objects.
    Note: If access override for an IPv4 IP Group is selected when setting access rights on any parent objects of IP group, the override setting will only be applied to IPv4 IP group objects but not to IPv4 addresses under the IP group objects.
  9. On the Change Control tab, add comments, if required.
  10. Select Assign.
