SolarWinds Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals Exam - Topic 3 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for SolarWinds's Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 3
[All Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals Questions]

Multiple users have access to SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability (HCO) reports. All users are permitted to view and run existing reports, however restrictions for a smaller group of users are needed for editing and creating reports. How should these restrictions be accomplished?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The ability to create or modify reports is a high-level administrative function in the SolarWinds Platform, distinct from the ability to simply view them. According to the SolarWinds Platform User Account Management guide, this is controlled by the Report Management right.

To restrict a specific group of users from creating or editing reports while still allowing them to view existing ones, the administrator must remove the 'Manage Reports' permission from their user accounts. When this right is set to 'No,' the 'Manage Reports' button is hidden from the 'All Reports' view for that user. They can still click on and run any report they have access to, but they will lack the interface options to enter the 'Report Builder,' change schedules, or delete entries. This provides a secure way to delegate report consumption to the wider team while centralizing report creation within a smaller group of 'power users' or administrators. Option D is incorrect as it refers to Alerts, which is a separate permission set entirely.

Hmm, C looks like a good compromise, limiting the alert options.

B seems a bit too restrictive, users still need to access the reports.

I think the option about removing the reports view might be too extreme. Users still need to see reports, right?

I'm a bit confused about the alert management rights. Does setting it to yes really help with editing permissions?

I remember practicing a question where we had to manage user access, and I feel like removing the manage reports button could be a good way to limit editing.

I think we discussed something similar in class about user permissions, but I'm not entirely sure which option is best for restricting editing rights.

This is a good one. I think the key is to strike the right balance between restricting access and still allowing the necessary functionality. Options C and D seem like the most targeted approach to achieve that.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between options C and D. They both seem to be about setting permissions, but I'm not sure exactly what each one does. I'll need to read through the question and options more carefully to understand the nuance.

Alright, I think I've got it. The key is to identify the users who need edit permissions and then set those permissions accordingly. Options C and D look like the way to go - setting the alert limitation category and alert management rights for the select group of users.

Okay, let's see here. Removing the "manage reports" button or the reports view from the menu bar could work, but that might be too restrictive. I'm leaning more towards the options that involve setting specific permissions for the users who need edit access.

Hmm, this seems like a straightforward permissions management question. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about the implications of each one.
