Event Group Roles

Event group roles determine whether operators can modify events or simply view them. Modifying events includes such tasks as acknowledging and closing events.

Event group roles are set on event groups that have been assigned to a console. You can set event group roles when you first assign an event group to a console, or you can set them sometime after assigning an event group to a console by editing the console properties for the event group.

Most events require the event group role of admin to modify them. The event group role required to modify an event is indicated by the value of the acl attribute of the event. By assigning the admin role to some event groups defined for the console and the user role for other event groups defined for the console, you can allow operators assigned to that console the ability to modify some events and to only view others.

The following event group roles are available: super, senior, admin, and user.

Note:  Event group roles are not related to Tivoli authorization roles. Tivoli authorization roles are specified in the Tivoli Management Framework.
