Setting Permissions for Server Manager Tasks

You might not want all the Server Manager features available to all users. For instance, you might only want to allow administrators to kill servers or defragment a project’s database.

You can set Server Manager permissions as described in the topic, ServerManager.cfg Configuration File.

For additional control, you can set and lock these permissions at a corporate level by setting up the Server Manager configuration file in a corporate WDIR area. See Managing Configuration Files in Centralized WDIR Directories.

The Server Manager features that you can control appear in Table 1 along with their corresponding entry in the [Permission] section of the ServerManager.cfg configuration file.
