Router MC User Permissions

Router MC requires all users to log in with a user name and a password, which must be authenticated by the CiscoWorks server (default) or by a Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) v3.1. Once authenticated, Router MC determines the user’s defined role within the application. The role determines the set of tasks or operations the user is authorized to perform. Only those menu items, Table of Contents items, and buttons associated with authorized tasks are visible to the user. All others are hidden or disabled.

CiscoWorks Server Roles and Router MC Permissions

CiscoWorks supports the following five role types corresponding to typical functions within an organization:

Help desk	Read-only access for viewing devices, device groups, and the entire scope of a VPN.
Approver	Can review policy changes and can either approve or reject them. Can also approve or reject deployment jobs.
Network operator	Can make policy changes (except device inventory changes), as well as create and deploy jobs. Activities and jobs must be approved by an Approver.
System administrator	Can perform CiscoWorks server tasks and can make changes to the device hierarchy, such as move or delete devices. Can change administrative settings.
Network administrator	Can perform all CiscoWorks server and Router MC tasks. Can add users to the system with CiscoWorks or ACS. Can set user passwords and assign user roles and privileges.

If ACS authentication is used, the roles are different because of the group and task orientation of ACS. Each role is made up of a set of permissions that determine the role’s level of access to Router MC tasks. User groups are assigned a role and each user in the group can perform all the Router MC tasks in the role. Use the Cisco online feature to get the most current configuration and implementation information if ACS will be used. cp12Easy VPN
