Granting permissions to the role

To grant permissions to the newly created NightWatchman Console User security role:

  1. In the Security section, select the Roles tab.

  2. Select the NightWatchman Console Users role

  3. In the Permissions panel, enable the Launch Console permission. The role must already have this permission before others can be granted.

    • Cannot Add, rename, delete groups

    • Cannot remove members from groups

    • Cannot move computers across groups

      Disabled Modify permissions
