Custom Data: Input Data

A privilege allowing non-Admin user accounts to edit and enter information in custom data fields previously created by the Admin account. For example: for network devices, custom fields are useful for recording important contextual data such as asset tag numbers and physical location — information that NetMRI does not gather on its own. By default, the Admin account is the only account with permissions to edit such data fields. For more information, see Defining and Using Custom Fields and Enabling Custom Data Field Editing for Non-Admin Users.

By default, this tab is disabled for user accounts without this privilege. NetMRI roles that have this privilege by default include SysAdmin, UserAdmin, and ChangeEngineer High. For roles other than those noted, this privilege is manually assigned.

Terminal: Open Session

Allow users to activate Telnet/SSH sessions from the right-click menu.

Terminal: Use NetMRI Creds

Allow the user to log in to devices using the default login/enable credential associated with the device within NetMRI. These are not vendor default credentials. If a terminal session is opened and the user has the appropriate privileges, the terminal shell queries the device credentials based on status and connection type and attempts a login using those if they are available. If not, a username and password are requested from the user.
