This chapter discusses the security model used in System Center 2016 Service Manager (SCSM) and provides the configuration steps required to personalize the security model to your needs.
Security is applied across all objects you can manage in SCSM. The security model in use is commonly known as Role Based Administration (RBA). The RBA model provides a consistent method of delegating security control over what a user can interact with and what actions they can perform. System Center 2016 Service Manager has 13 default security roles.
The 13 default roles are as follows:
The default security roles cannot be removed and have only one editable option; you can assign users or groups to a default role. The actions and implied actions of SCSM security roles can be found in the official product administrative guide and online at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center-docs/sm/manage/admin-managing-user-roles-in-system-center-2016-service-manager.
The security settings you apply to your SCSM environment require you to plan and test your scenarios. The recipes in this chapter will provide us with the technical steps required to implement your personal security model.
