Profiles have several configuration options. These include Validation Logic, Default Validation Logic, Default Timing, Permissions and Named Schedulers and are available as Tabs in the View Pane.
To modify any of the options on the profile configuration tabs, click on Edit. This will put the settings into edit mode with Save and Cancel at the bottom of the display. You must click either Save or Cancel to complete the edit.
Validation Logic is used in conjunction with profiles to determine whether the configuration elements within a profile should be considered for processing on the client. Once the profile passes the validation test, each configuration element within the profile is processed. These entries are first verified by testing the validation logic defined for the entry. If the entry passes the validation logic test, it is executed on the client. If the validation logic for the profile does not meet the client specifications then no elements within the profile are processed.
It is important to keep in mind that not all configuration elements will be executed on a client just because a profile passes the validation logic test. This is due to the secondary validation logic provided for, on individual configuration element within the profile.
For detailed information about Validation Logic settings see the Validation Logic concepts help topic.
Only a Super User/Group has the ability to change the Validation Logic on a root level profile.
Default Validation Logic is used to provide defaults to any new configuration element defined within the profile. Changing the Default Validation Logic for a profile will not change the validation logic defined for the profile or any existing configuration element.
For detailed information about Validation Logic settings see the Validation Logic concepts help topic.
Only a Super User/Group has the ability to change the Default Validation Logic on a root level profile.
Default Timing is used to provide defaults to the timing tab for any new configuration element defined within Computer Management profiles. Changing the Default Timing for a profile will not change the Timing defined for the profile or any existing configuration element.
For detailed information about Timing settings see the Validation Logic Timing help topic.
Only a Super User/Group has the ability to change the Default Validation Logic on a root level profile.
The Advanced tab contains specialized profile options.
Select the If this profile is validated during execution, do not process any subsequent profiles option, to stop processing all following profiles once this profile is validated and processed.
Keep in mind that profiles are process the order that they appear in the navigation pane. The order of the profiles may be rearranged by using any of the methods described in the Profile Management topic.
Only a Super User/Group has the ability to change the Advanced options on a root level profile.
The Permissions tab is used to assign permissions to users by assigning a user to a role.
Roles are created from the Console Access Settings menu selection. Most often roles are established to represent a common job function that is performed by one or more employees. A role defines the functions that a member of the role will be able to perform.
For more detail on using Role Based Administration, see Role Based Administration Overview.
To update the members of a role, select the Role from the Roles list. Click Add Member or Delete Member to update the Members list.
Only a Super User/Group has the ability to change the Permissions on a root level profile.
The Named Schedules tab is used to create, modify or delete saved schedules. A Schedule is used as a Timing option. When applied to an element, it allows the element to be executed at a specified cycle and time period. Click Add, Delete or highlight a schedule to update.
A Schedule can be added to any Computer Management Profile element within the profile it was created in. Schedules are inherited by children profiles. Schedules created in one parent profile are not available in any other profile that is not related to the one it is created in.
Schedules can also be created within an element's Timing options window by choosing the Scheduled timing option on the element's timing tab.
