Hello, Is there a way to grant read-only access to monitoring configuration (i.e. tasks, rules, monitors and views)? For example, should an operator desire to see a rule/monitor’s configuration (ex.: threshold), they could do so by: 1. Right-clicking on an alert, and be presented with the following options, yet in read-only mode: · Overrides\Summary · View or edit the settings of this rule/monitor 2. Right-clicking a monitor in the Health Explorer tree window, and being able to select the Monitor Properties… option without being presented with the “You do not have appropriate permissions to view this object.” dialog box. If this is not possible, I’ll open a suggestion on Microsoft Connect. Thanks, Larry

Hi Larry Sadly the security model isn't that granular - there is no read only role for the authoring tab. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb735424.aspx Cheers GrahamNew SCOM 2012 Blog! - http://www.systemcentersolutions.com/blog/ View OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/

Thanks Graham, That's what I thought, though I wanted a confirmation. :) Kind regards, Larry
