User Roles in Cisco ONP
Initially, the administrator performs access control management tasks, like activating users after user sign-up, creating user groups, roles, and assigning roles and users to user groups. The admin or user with admin access grants access to the newly created user by activating the user. After the admin grants access, the new user will be notified by email (sent to the email address registered while signing up). It is only then that the new user is able to log in. By default, the following user roles are available in Cisco ONP.
-
Admin: The Admin user can create new user groups and assign user to user groups. Users are categorized into groups. There are certain predefined user groups in Cisco ONP. You cannot edit or delete these user groups. Admin can assign a group with a particular role. The role describes the actions that a particular user group can perform.
-
Designer: The Designer user can design a network. There are two ways to design a network.
-
Manual Design
-
Import Design
The designer user can create a network topology of any type (linear, ring, mesh) with Traffic, OLA, ROADM, and Passthrough sites, and assign the fibers with suitable spans between those sites. The designer can only design the network and cannot analyze the network. The designer can view the reports, when any user shares the analyzed network.
-
-
Planner: The Planner user can design and analyze a network. After the Sites, Fiber spans, and Service demands are created, analyze the network to determine the network performance. Cisco ONP automatically optimizes the design and summarizes the optical transmission performance. In the analyzed state, all reports are available and updated. In the analyzed state, no aspect of the network design can be changed.
-
Reader: The Reader user can view users, user groups, roles, and permission. The Reader can also view the network topology, layout, connections, and BOM. By default, a user is assigned in the READ_ONLY_GROUP with a READER_ROLE.
You can also create new roles. See Create a New Role.
