Re: New to SMS - have a Collections question.

Dawn,

SMS security is a bit different from normal Windows security.

Access to objects is based on Security Rights (if you scroll down the list
of objects in the Console you'll find Security Rights there.)

You can assign rights to a Class (ie All Collections / Queries / Packages
etc) or to an Instance (ie a specific Collection / Query / PAckage).

It sounds as if you've set Class Rights rather than Instanace Rights for
what you're trying to achieve.

If you select Security Rights -- > Right Click --> New --> Instance you
should be able to get where you want to.

I am new to SMS - trying to learn it after someone else installed it.
I believe it is a typical install. There is only one site database and
below that I see the Site Hierarchy, Collections, Packages etc. Under
Collections is a lot of "sub collections". I tried creating a
"sub-collection" called tech for our techs to be able to use remote
tools to access and fix computers on our network. I added the
workstations in I wanted them to have access to. However I want to
exclude them from servers and administrative computers which are in a
different "sub-collection". I also want to limit other functions.
However if I set the security on "Collections" or their
"sub-collection" it gives them rights to everything under "Collections"
including the administrative machines and servers. I'm not sure where
to go from here. Do I have to create a whole new CollectionsB say
under Site Database. If so how do you do this. I have been reading
the manual and am confused. I think because I was not part of the
install from the beginning. Any help is appreciated.

Dawn
