Hi,

I wish to create a role where by a users may have access to read the syslog object in system manager.

I cannot seem to find the api that will allow this access. could someone provide some insight as to how I may go about this.

Regards

Colin.

Colin -

There are no system manager capabilities to create roles from. However there are API capabilities to create roles. The capability would be for the API, file-read-file, which allows the user to read any file given a path. If a role was created that only allowed http login and file-read-file, I can imagine System Manager would not do well. System Manager 1.x was not designed to interogate roles.

If you want a syslog reader, I reccommend creating a program that uses file-read-file to obtain syslog information.

Regards,

Here's a good TR from Ron our Security TME which has a section on System Manager and custom roles. Its for the previous version but has some good info.
