1 Overview
An action is a command that can be remotely run on a node that has a Veloopti agent installed on it. Actions come in three levels of permissions: Operator; Power User; and Administrator.
1.1 Permissions
There are three levels of permissions in Actions.
- Operator
- Operator level actions require the lowest level of permissions to be run.
- Power User
- Power User level actions require more permissions than Operator level and lower than Administrator level actions. Users that can run Power User level actions can also run Operator level actions.
- Administrator
- Administrator level actions require the highest level of permissions. Users that are able to run Administrator level actions can also run Power User and Operator actions.
1.2 Where actions can be run
Actions can be run in two different locations: on servers and through an event.
1.2.1 Actions on servers
Actions can be run directly on a server that has a Veloopti agent. When clicking on the server name in either the main node page, or the node page in an application; there is a item named Actions where they can be run.
1.2.2 Actions on events
Actions can also be run from an Event. <more here>
