Novell Documentation: iManager 2.5

2.4 Access Modes

When you start iManager, you are granted an access mode based on the rights you've been assigned. iManager has three access modes. The mode you are in is displayed in the upper left corner of the iManager interface.

Unrestricted Access
This is the default mode before RBS is configured. It displays all of the roles and tasks installed. Although all roles and tasks are visible, the authenticated user still needs the necessary rights to use the tasks.

There is a setting that you can add to the config.xml file in <tomcat location>\webapps\nps\WEB-INF which forces Unrestricted Access, even if Role Based Services is installed. Add the following setting to config.xml and restart Tomcat:
```
<setting>
```
```
<name><![CDATA[RBS.forceUnrestricted]]></name>
```
```
<value><![CDATA[true]]></value>
```
```
</setting>
```
Assigned Access
Displays only the roles and tasks assigned to the authenticated user. This mode takes full advantage of the Role-Based Services technology.
Collection Owner
Displays all of the roles and tasks installed in the collection. It allows you to use all of the roles and tasks in the collection, even if specific rights have not been assigned. Role-Based Services must be installed in order to use this mode.

NOTE:The collection owner sees all roles and tasks, regardless of role membership.
