Administrative Permissions for Scheduling Tasks
You can schedule tasks, such as adding IPv6 networks, for a future date and time. To schedule tasks, you must first enable the scheduling feature, and then define administrative permissions for admin groups and admin roles. Only superusers can enable and disable this feature and grant scheduling permissions to admin groups. Limited-access admin groups can schedule tasks only when they have the Scheduling Tasks permission.
Superusers can do the following:
- Enable and disable task scheduling
- Grant and deny scheduling permissions to admin groups and admin roles
- Schedule tasks for all supported object types
- Reschedule and delete any scheduled task
You can set global permissions to Schedule Tasks as described in /wiki/spaces/mgmadminguide/pages/911180974. The following table lists the tasks admins can perform and the required permissions. Users with Read/Write permission to scheduling can view, reschedule, and delete their own scheduled tasks.
Table 4.7 Scheduling Task Permissions
Tasks | Scheduling Tasks | All Master Grid members | All Managed Grids | All IPv4 Networks | All IPv6 Networks |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Schedule the addition, modification, and deletion of all supported object types | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
View, reschedule, and delete scheduled tasks | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
To schedule tasks for specific resources, admins must have Read/Write permission to Scheduling Tasks, plus the required permissions to the supported resources. For information about permissions for specific resources, see the following:
Note that the appliance deletes all pending scheduled tasks when superusers disable task scheduling. The appliance deletes an admin's scheduled tasks when superusers do the following:
- Set the scheduling permission of admin groups and roles to "Deny"
- Delete or disable an admin group or an admin role
- Delete or disable local admins
- Delete the scheduling permission from any admin group or admin role that contains users with pending scheduled tasks
- Change the admin group of a limited-access admin
Administrative Permissions for Disconnected Grids
Table 4.8 lists some of the common tasks admins can perform and their required permissions. All the permission tables in this chapter use the following definitions:
- RW = Read/Write permission
- RO = Read-only permission
