Previous Next Sheriff CSM™ Limit User Visibility with Entities In Sheriff CSM, you can limit user access to parts of the web UI by limiting visibility of assets and events with an entity. Sheriff CSM uses entities to group assets and deputies from similar functional areas of an organization. This allows you to treat some assets differently from others in terms of which users have visibility into them and their events through the web interface. Using this method, you can, for example, limit the users of a given department to see only their department’s assets and events.
-
If you use local authentication, you can assign an entity to an individual user in Sheriff CSM. See Create New Accounts for Local Users.
-
If you use LDAP authentication without a local user, Sheriff CSM uses a default entity. See Create New Accounts for LDAP Users.
-
In the Sheriff CSM web interface, go to Configuration > Administration > Users > Structure and click New Entity.
-
Specify the name of the entity in the Name field.
-
(Optional) Specify the address of the entity in the Address field.

Select a parent correlation context or an entity from the Parent list.
-
Select the time zone from the Timezone list.

Associate assets or networks with the entity by selecting assets or networks from the asset tree.
