Administrative Privileges

For each custom administrative role that you create, you can select the privileges and levels of access for each privilege. The levels of access for each privilege are:
  • Enable—Allow read/write access to a page in the ESM Console.
  • Disable—Hide access to a page.
  • Read Only—Allow a user to view but not modify a page.
The following table describes the privileges that you can customize for each role.
