Defining Access Privileges

For Avalanche to manage your infrastructure devices, the Infrastructure Servers must have device access privileges.

To define device access privileges:

From the Profiles tab, select the profile for which you are defining privileges.

Click Edit.

In the Infrastructure Server Profile tab, find the Device Access Privileges area. If you want to display the names and passwords, click Show Password. Once you navigate away from the profile, save or cancel changes, the passwords will be hidden. Configure the privileges for the profile.
