RBAC (role-based access control) provides the ability to control who has access to various features and resources in Performance Manager.

What RBAC does
Role-based access control (RBAC) enables administrators to manage groups of users by defining roles. If you need to restrict access for specific functionality to selected administrators, you must set up administrator accounts for them. If you want to restrict the information that administrators can view and the operations they can perform, you must apply roles to the administrator accounts you create.
Authentication with Active Directory or OpenLDAP
You can enable remote authentication on the management server and configure the management server to communicate with your authentication servers so that users within the authentication servers can access Performance Manager.
Definitions of user types
A user type specifies the kind of account the user holds, and includes remote users, remote groups, local users, database users, and maintenance users. Each of these types has its own role, which is assigned by a user with the role of OnCommand Administrator.
Definitions of user roles in Performance Manager
The maintenance user or OnCommand administrator assigns a role to every user. Each role contains certain privileges. The scope of activities that you can perform in Performance Manager depends on the role you are assigned and which privileges the role contains.
