In order to create an administration group, you must have both Full Any Target and Create Privilege Propagating Group target privileges.

Developing an administration group is performed in two phases:

• Planning

  • Plan your administration group hierarchy by creating a group hierarchy in a way reflects how you monitor your targets.

  • Plan the management settings associated with the administration groups in the hierarchy.

    • Management settings: Monitoring settings, Compliance standard settings, Enterprise Manager policy settings

    • For Monitoring settings, you can have additional metric settings or override metric settings lower in your hierarchy

    • For Compliance standards or Enterprise Manager policies, additional rules/policies lower in the hierarchy are additive

• Implementation

  • Enter the group hierarchy definition and management settings in Enterprise Manager.

    • Create the administration group hierarchy.

    • Create the monitoring templates, compliance standards, Enterprise Manager policies and add these to template collections.

    • Associate template collections with administration groups.

    • Add targets to the administration group by assigning the appropriate values to the target properties such that Enterprise Manager automatically adds them to the appropriate administration group.
