Administrator and User Permissions
Overview
When you enable CAM administrator user policies, or use Cherwell Service Management authentication to manage user access, users can have full or limited functionality in CAM Administrator, Purchasing, Reporting, and CAM SaaS Analytics. This topic provides details on what each type of permissions includes in both CAM and the equivalent rights as configured in CSM.
Administrator Permissions
Users without administrator permissions cannot do the following:
- Run the Setup Wizard
- Configure baselines
- Reset data
- Change the license key
- View all panels
- View and configure all tabs and options in the Options dialog box
- (CAM) Enable or configure user policies
User Permissions
The following topics list the permissions available to each panel.
Panels that a user does not have permission to access are not shown in
CAM Administrator or the Status panel. (For example, users with permissions to the
Managed Computers and Users panels will only see those panels; the License
Units, Files, Network Devices, and Other Assets panels will not be visible.)
- User Permissions for the Configure and Manage Software Characteristics Panels
- User Permissions for the Managed Computers and Users Panel
- User Permissions for the Configure hardware assets other than computers Panel
- User Permissions for the Restricted Purchasing Panel
- User Permissions for the Restricted Reporting Panel
Users Who Are Not Authorized
Users designated as "Not authorized" in the Administrator User Policy dialog box cannot run CAM Administrator.
