Note

It is possible, in this Open implementation, to add all DBA users to the default DBA role. However, for any size installation, it is recommended to have a well-defined hierarchy of users. Particularly for SMTP or SNMP notifications which can, if unmanaged, produce a very high volume of notification traffic. It is recommended to have a single group of senior users manage Advisor, Event Handler, and Notification Group configuration. All requests should go through those senior users.

Also, it is not possible to edit the default DBA role.

Role Membership

Users are assigned to roles in the following way:

  • Manager Role

    • Teamlead/Coordinator user

  • DBA Role

    • DBAs
