Graphic Maps

If the profile enhancement feature is set in the system configuration settings (Logins Settings), the following changes are impacted in this module:

·         The Graphic maps are displayed to users based on hierarchical location assigned to their user profiles. For example: if a user profile “campusadmin”is assigned to a location “BVVC”, the user can view maps related to this location and its sub-locations only. If the user tries to view any other location maps, an error is displayed.

·         When location-restricted users create a new map, they can select from a list of devices that are populated based on the location to which they are assigned.

·         All device groups up to the root of the location-restricted user are visible, and the user can reuse these device groups if at least one device is present in the location-restricted user’s assigned location.

·         The maps created by cpamadmin are not restricted by any hierarchical location.

·         The location-restricted user is restricted from viewing maps created by the cpamadmin.

·         The hierarchical location is auto-populated for a location-restricted user while creating maps.

·         When the cpamadmin removes a location from the location-restricted user’s hierarchy, all devices of that location is removed automatically. However if any device commands relating to these devices are present, then it requires manual removal, so the cpamadmin should ensure that they remove all associated devices/commands (manually) along with the location.

Note   These points are applicable only when the profile enhancement feature is set on the Logins page in the System Configuration window (starting with the ICPAM 2.1 release); otherwise the ICPAM appliance retains its behavior as in the prior version (CPAM 1.5.1).

The followings sections describes the map viewer, and the  used to create the maps:

·         Map Viewer

·         Map Editor
