If you do not see this role in your iManager interface, you are probably not an authorized user. See Authorized Users and Groups.

iManager Views are management pages accessed from buttons in iManager’s Header frame. You might want to prevent users from accessing certain views, such as View Objects or Configure.

By default, all views inherit the settings of the parent set.

6.9.1 Showing and Hiding iManager Views

  1. In the Configure view, select Views > iManager Views.

  2. Specify, or use the Object Selector to find, a container at which you want to restrict access to Views, then click OK.

  3. Specify the appropriate view settings, then click OK.

    There are three view settings from which you can choose:

    • Do not set: Does not explicitly set the view state. This is the default setting.

    • Hide: Hides the view.

    • Show: Displays the view.

    Select Read parent containers of this object to use the settings of the object's parent container for this object. When selected, the parent settings take precedence over the object’s local settings.
