Object-Specific Privileges

Object-specific privileges control operations on specific types of inventory objects. Roles that contain object-specific privileges can be applied to access groups. In a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, roles that contain certain object-specific privileges are applicable to federation access groups.

The following table describes the object-specific privileges. The predefined roles Administrators, Local Administrators, Help Desk Administrators, and Inventory Administrators contain these privileges.
