Hierarchies Allowed List Impact
The following areas in the system are impacted by list entries available in the Hierarchies Allowed List of a role:
Microsoft-only Role
Starting with version 21.3-PB1, VOSS Automate ships with a Microsoft-only role (MicrosoftOnlyRole) and accompanying role-based access control elements, which are predefined for a Microsoft-only user interface experience. These elements include predefined field display policies, dashboards (MicrosoftOnlyDashboard), and menus (MicrosoftOnlyMenu). Installing these templates provides the baseline for a Microsoft-only version of VOSS Automate, and hides non-Microsoft GUI elements, such as the FDPs, menus, and dashboards reflecting functionality used for managing Cisco devices.
To use the MicrosoftOnlyRole in VOSS Automate:
Log in to VOSS Automate as hscadmin.
Go to (default menus) Role Management > Roles.
Locate MicrosoftOnlyRole in the list view.
Select the role in the list (or click on the role to open it).
Note
This role ships with a standard access profile and a predefined menu layout and dashboard.
Click Export to export the role to a JSON file, and save the file to your local computer.
Edit the JSON file to specify the hierarchy where you want to use the role.
Go to (default menus) Administration Tools > Import.
Browse to the location you saved the JSON file, then click Import.
Go to (default menus) Role Management > Roles to verify that the role now exists also at the hierarchy you specified.
At the hierarchy where you wish to assign the role to a user (Provider or Customer), go to (default menus) User Management > Admins. Choose a user (or add a user), then on the User Details tab, from the Role field, choose the role (MicrosoftOnlyRole) you imported to this level, and save your change.
