SolarWinds Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals Exam - Topic 3 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for SolarWinds's Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 3
[All Observability-Self-Hosted-Fundamentals Questions]

An Intelligent Map has been created of certain administered entities. Entities are to be added before the map is added to an enterprise summary view. When entities are added to the map, it is unable to be saved. What is the cause of the issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

SolarWinds Intelligent Maps require specific functional permissions within the user's account settings to perform modifications. According to the SolarWinds Platform Administrator Guide, the ability to view a map does not automatically grant the right to edit or save changes to it.

The primary cause for being unable to save edits---such as adding new entities or changing the layout---is that the user does not have Intelligent Map edit rights assigned to their user account. In the SolarWinds Web Console, map permissions are granular. An administrator must go to Settings > All Settings > Manage Accounts, select the user, and ensure the 'Map Management' or specific 'Allow Map Editing' toggle is set to 'Yes'. If this permission is absent, the user may still be able to interact with the map in a 'live' temporary session (moving nodes around for visualization), but the 'Save' button will either be disabled or will result in an error because the platform's security layer prevents permanent changes to the database from unauthorized accounts.

This is confusing, why can't we just save our changes?

I disagree, it could just be edit rights.

Wait, can you really not save if you're not the owner?

I hope the correct answer isn't hidden in some obscure corner of the map!

I recall a similar scenario where the problem was about node access. Maybe option D is the cause here, but I can't quite remember the details.

This reminds me of a practice question where we discussed user rights. I wonder if option C is the right answer since it mentions edit rights.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like it could be option B. If the owner set it to read-only, that would definitely prevent saving.

I think the issue might be related to permissions. I remember something about needing specific rights to edit the map.

This one's got me a bit stumped. I'm going to re-read the question and the options a few times to make sure I understand what's going on. I want to make sure I pick the right answer.

I've seen issues like this before. My guess is that the user doesn't have the necessary permissions to edit the Intelligent Map, so option C is probably the right answer.

Okay, let me think this through. If the map can't be saved when entities are added, it seems like there might be an issue with the user's access rights. I'm leaning towards option C or D.

Hmm, this seems like it could be a tricky one. I'm going to read through the options carefully and see if I can figure out the most likely cause.

I'm not sure about this one. I think it might have something to do with permissions, but I'm not totally clear on the details.
