Behind the Scenes
For an administrative user to use the ConfigMgr console, that user must be assigned to at least one role, or the console will fail to connect. After a role is defined, when the console is opened, the objects that fall under the management of the administrative user is displayed and accessible. All other objects are hidden from view. The console displays content based on the assigned roles, scopes, and collections:
• Roles: Visible workspaces, nodes, folders, objects, and actions are defined by the administrative user’s associated role.
• Scopes: Only the objects associated to assigned scopes can be managed.
• Collections: Only assigned collections can be viewed and managed.
