HP Web Jetadmin - Security Restriction Settings for Groups

You can use a restricted role to specify which device groups a user can access and which management tasks the user can perform for the devices in those device groups.

When a restricted role is assigned to a user, the user can view all of the device groups that are available. The names of the device groups that the user can access based on the restricted role are highlighted in bold text. For the devices in these device groups, the user can perform only the management tasks that are specified for the restricted role.

For example, use the following steps to give User A permission to access only the devices that are in Group 1 and permission to refresh and delete the devices that are in Group 1:

  1. Create a restricted role. On the Specify permission settings page of the Create Role wizard, select Device Groups from the Restriction type list, and select the Manage Devices check box.

  2. Assign the restricted role to User A. On the Specify role settings page of the Assign User Role wizard, add Group 1 to the Restrict permissions by group list.

When User A displays a list of all the available device groups, only Group 1 is highlighted in bold text. User A can access, refresh, and delete the devices that are in Group 1. If User A tries to delete a device in any other device group, HP Web Jetadmin displays an error message.
