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 which forces Unrestricted Access, even if Role-Based Services is installed. To force Unrestricted Access for all users, add the following setting to the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/nps/WEB-INF/config.xml file and restart Tomcat:
<setting>
<name><![CDATA[RBS.forceUnrestricted]]></name>
<value><![CDATA[true]]></value>
</setting>
For information about restarting Tomcat, see Starting and Stopping Tomcat and Apache.
NOTE:When using iManager in Unrestricted mode, you typically see the following message on the iManager Home Page: Notice: Some of the roles and tasks are not available. Clicking might display a Not supported by current authenticators message for several of the tasks, even though the tasks work correctly. This message is misleading, and iManager removes these messages after you configure RBS.
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 roles 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.
