A system privilege applied to SysAdmin roles. Users with this privilege can add new networks, change network view mappings, and mapping local VRFs to networks.

Custom Data: Input Data

The privilege allows 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 permission to edit such data fields. For more information, see Defining and Using Custom Fields and Enabling Custom Data Field Editing for Non-Admin Users.
