Areas Overview
Because the CMA system is a role-based system, users see only the pages and
functions available to their roles and the permissions assigned to their user
roles. However, users can perform those functions on any endpoint or
network device defined to the system unless the Areas feature is implemented.
By implementing areas, the CMA system administrator with System Setup
permissions can limit access to endpoints and network devices to a specific set
of administrators, operators, and schedulers.
How Areas Work
Areas add another dimension of permissions to scheduling, monitoring, and
administration of endpoints and network devices. Besides the permissions
enabled and disabled by roles and groups, the system now has a set of
permissions enabled and disabled by areas.
