NOTE:

Create the VC Domain Groups, then define VCEM access to authorized users.

By default the OS administrator user account has VCEM administrator rights to all VCEM VC
Domain Groups.

A user account can be associated with different VC Domain Groups and have different
privileges for each of the groups. Likewise, a VC Domain Group can have different users
associated with it who have different privilege levels. For example, user JohnSmith can have
“VCEM Domain Group Administrator” privileges for the “HP-UX” VC Domain Group but be
limited to “VCEM Group Limited Operator” privileges in the “Linux-Servers” VC Domain Group.
It is also possible to assign other users with different privileges to conduct operations on the
“HP-UX” VC Domain Group. This way user RachelGreen could be assigned “VCEM Domain
Group Operator” privileges and user AdamWood could be assigned “VCEM Group Limited
Operator” privileges allowing them to perform only subsets of management operations on the
“HP-UX” VC Domain Group.
