Systems Management Server (SMS) grants access to its functionality based on security rights. Configuring SMS security means creating various security rights so that SMS administrators have access to certain functionality and data.
A security right has three parts:
Not all permissions apply to all security objects. (See About Permissions and Security Objects for the complete list of permissions and the security objects they apply to.)
SMS administrators who do not have permissions for all security objects in the SMS Administrator console will only see those security objects for which they have permissions.
