Important Notes

Required User Role Settings

NBI permissions must be set for Super User, Config Manager, Admin, and System Monitoring users to ensure optimal functioning when performing the following actions:

- Service provisioning

- Config activation

- Performance dashboard viewing

To set NBI permissions for users, go to Administration > Users > Users, Roles & AAA > Users and do the following for each user:

1. Click on the user name link.

2. In the User Details page, under Groups Assigned to this User, select the NBI Read and NBI Write check boxes.

3. Click Save.

Reconciliation Report Limitations

When provisioning a service, if you have not provided a value for any of the attributes, the provisioned value for those attributes will be displayed as “Missing” in the reconciliation report. The device may have default values for these attributes but Cisco EPN Manager does not have any values configured.
