Navigating the UI

The Privilege Manager user interface, also referred to as the console, is launched in a browser. The URL to launch the user interface has the following form:

https://[server-domain]/TMS/PrivilegeManager

Where:

  • server-domain, indicates the customer specific domain name, for example:

    • https://mydomain.com/TMS/PrivilegeManager for on-premises installations and
    • https://myassignedname.privilegemanagercloud.com/Tms for Cloud instances.

The User Interface (UI) seen by all <MadCap:variable name="global-vars.ProductName" /> roles is the same (whether Administrator or other). However, most of the interface is enabled only when you log in as a <MadCap:variable name="global-vars.ProductName" /> Administrator; the other roles are able to perform very few activities.

Upon login, the Home page is displayed in the page navigation area. At any point in navigating the application, click Privilege Manager in the left navigation panel to return to the Home page.

The functional areas of the UI are shown here. Refer to Navigation and Controls for detailed usage.

Left Navigation Panel

The left navigation panel provides access to all Privilege Manager functionality (e.g., computer groups, file inventory, administration).

The main menu bar, is present in the top right of all pages. It contains access to:

  • Search
  • Approvals and Notifications (see Managing Approvals and Managing Notifications)
  • Privilege Manager Tutorial. Click the Tutorial icon to enable/disable the display of the Tutorial panel. The tutorial provides streamlined sequential tasks that allow you to get up and running by deploying test agents, assigning test computers, and enforcing test policies.
  • User Profile allows you to customize the UI and log out.

Page Content
