MC Configuration Privileges
When you create an MC user, you assign them an MC configuration access level (role). MC roles control a user's ability to create users and manage MC settings on the MC interface.
In addition to an MC role, users also have a database role that controls their database-specific privileges. See MC Database Privileges.
MC Roles and Privileges You Can Assign Users
You can assign a user one of the following MC access levels:
- ADMIN Role (mc)—Full access to all MC functionality.
- MANAGER Role (MC)—Access to MC user management functionality. Access to non-database MC alerts.
- IT Role (mc)—Limited access to MC user management functionality. Access to MC log and to non-database MC alerts.
- NONE Role (mc)—Database access only, to the databases an administrator assigns to this user.
You grant MC configuration privileges at the same time you create the user's account, on the User Management tab of the MC Settings page. You can change MC access levels using this page. See Creating an MC User for details.
You can also user the User Management tab to grant users access to one or more databases managed by MC. SeeMC Database Privilegesfor details.
