To adminster TSM, an ID needs the tsmAdministrator or tsmUser role, these
roles are currently identical.  The TSM_AdminCenter group has the
tsmAdministrator role. This is all an id needs if it is just going to be
used to administer TSM
The reportAdministrator and reportUser are Tivoli  Common Reporting roles,
and there are groups with the same roles, and at least one of these roles
is required to use Tivoli Common reporting.
 The iscadmins role gives the authority to create id and groups, and assign
IDs to groups, but not roles, so if you create groups with the roles you
want, an id with iscadmins role (or in a group with that role), can create
new ids and assign them to a group with the roles you want.
 The adminsecuritymanager role will allow the creation of ids and the
assignment of roles.
 There is some help on the Page help link on the panel to add group or user
roles.  There is some additional information on the roles here :

Subject: [ADSM-L] Administrative roles in the ISC 6.1 ISC

Can somebody point me to doc on the definitions for authority roles for
"administrative users" in the new 6.1 ISC?

The choices are numerous:

Administrator,Operator,
Configurator,Monitor,Deployer,adminsecuritymanager,
iscadmins,suppressmonitor,tsmAdministrator,tsmUser,reportAdministrator,r
eportViewer

Giving a user iscadmins authority does not give them the authority to
create more administrative users like it does in 5.x.  So far I've
resorted to giving new ISC users ALL the above authorities.  But I'd
like to have some clue what I'm doing...
