ABSTRACT:
A single management facility in a virtualized system that facilitates the presentation of either a virtual element view or system view to a network management user depending upon the user's access rights is disclosed. The view presented to the user is modified based on the scope and type of access rights, which are found in a profile object, that is stored in an environmental object, established during the user login. Each virtualized element in the system includes management information that is associated with the virtual element via a virtual identifier. The management information indicates the level of the user access rights necessary to view the associated virtual element. Requests by a user to access management information associated with a virtual element are analyzed to determine if the access rights specified in the user profile enable the user to access the information associated with the virtual element.
