1.11 Resetting Default Roles

Viewpoint comes configured with several default roles (HPCAdmin, HPCUser, NitroAdmin, NitroUser, RemoteVizAdmin, and RemoteVisUser) and offers the ability to reset these roles back to their original default settings at any time.

You can choose whether to:

  • reset the permissions and remove principals.
  • reset the permissions only.

This topic provides the information on the different options available to reset the default roles.

1.11.1 Reset Permissions and Remove Principals

Do the following:

  1. If you have not already done so, log in to the Viewpoint portal. This can be the moab-admin user or any user granted permission to reset roles from the Roles page.
  2. Click Configuration in the menu bar. The Basic Configuration page displays.
  3. In the MWS Configuration area, click the Reset Permissions check box. A warning appears informing you that this will reset the defaults.
  4. Click Save. Once the permissions have finished resetting, you will be logged out of the Viewpoint portal and will need to log in again.
  5. Go to the Principals page and reassign the principals to the default roles, as needed.

1.11.2 Reset Permissions Only

Do the following:

  1. If you have not already done so, log in to the Viewpoint portal. This can be the moab-admin user or any user granted permission to reset roles from the Roles page.
  2. If you have not already done so, access the Role Management page. (Click Configuration in the menu bar, then click Roles in the left pane.)
  3. Click the name of the default role for which you want to reset permissions.

    The Roles page displays.

  4. Click RESET at the bottom of the page.
  5. When a message appears asking to your confirm the reset, click OK; otherwise, click Cancel.
