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.

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.

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.
