How do I manage permissions for DNS GSLB
objects?
F5 BIG-IQ Centralized Management makes it
straightforward for you to manage permissions that allow users to view only
the specific DNS GSLB objects you assign to them.
To provide permissions for a specific set of objects, you complete these
tasks.
- Add a custom resource group- In this task, you specify the GSLB objects that you want this user to work with. You create a resource group for each collection of objects that you want to assign to a user.
- Add a custom role- Next, you associate the GSLB Viewer role type with the resource groups that contain the objects you want your delegates to view. For example, if you had a resource group made up of two wide IPs, one namedSeattlePrimeand the other namedSeattleSecond, you might name this roleviewSeattle.
- Add a custom user- Finally, you create a user and assign a custom role to that user. The role gives that user permissions to view the objects that belong to the objects in the resource group. In the current example, you could assign your custom user to theviewSeattlerole to give that user the ability to view the GSLB objects in the two Seattle wide IPs.
For step-by-step guidance on each of these tasks, refer to
