1 Role-Based Access Control Logging out You can end a Web Tools session either by logging out or by closing Switch Explorer window. You might be logged out of a session involuntarily, without explicitly clicking the Logout button, under the following conditions: • A physical fabric administrator changes the contents of your currently selected Admin Domain. • Your currently selected Admin Domain is removed or invalidated. • Your currently selected Admin Domain is removed from your Admin Domain list. • You initiate a firmware download from the Web Tools Switch Administration window. In this case, you are logged out a few minutes later when the switch restarts. • Your session times out. Role-Based Access Control Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) defines the capabilities that a user account has based on the role the account is assigned. For each role, there is a set of predefined permissions on the jobs and tasks that can be performed on a fabric and its associated fabric elements. When you log in to a switch, your user account is associated with a predefined role. The role that your account is associated with determines the level of access you have on that switch and in the fabric. Following is a description of each of the roles: admin operator securityadmin switchadmin zoneadmin fabricadmin basicswitchadmin user You have full access to all of the Web Tools features.
