Element Manager Overview 20
• Device Maintenance
• Security
By default, all users have read-only rights, which allow viewing but not modifying data or
configurations. You can enable each of the permission levels as either read-only or read/write for
specific users. Users that are assigned a permission level that is required for a specific feature must
also be given read/write access to modify any data through the feature. For example, to clear the
Audit Log, a user must be assigned both Device Administration permission, and read/write access.
If a user is assigned Device Administration permission, but read-only access, that user can only view
the Audit Log.
Required permissions for Element Manager features
Table 2 itemizes specific functions available to Element Manager users who have been assigned
Device Administration, Device Operation, and Device Maintenance permissions. The user must also
be assigned read/write access to perform functions that modify data or configurations. If a user
does not have permission to perform a specific operation, a not-authorized error box is displayed
when the operation is attempted.
