60 Avaya IR R1.2 Installation
Assigning Web Administration privileges
A user account other than root must be set up with an Avaya IR privilege of Administration or
Operations to log in to Web Administration. The Operations privilege allows access to fewer
Web Administration menu items than the Administration privilege. For example, a user with
an Operations privilege cannot administer Backup and Restore.
To assign administrative privileges:
1. At the command prompt, enter
assign_permissions
username
Administration
where
username
is the user you added using the Admintool.
The system displays:
Assigning VIS permissions: Administration
for user login:

Confirm (Y/N)

Administration
You can now access the Web Administration interface using the new user name. See
Starting the Web Administration interface on page 60 for more information.
Starting the Web Administration interface
To set up the features on Avaya IR, you can use the Web Administration interface or the
command-line interface.
Note:
Avaya recommends using the Web Administration interface until you are familiar
with the administration commands.
To start the Web Administration interface:
1. Start a Web browser.
To run Netscape locally on the Avaya IR platform, from the UNIX prompt, type
netscape
and press
Enter
.
If you are accessing Avaya IR from another computer, start the browser as you normally
do on that system. This computer must be on the same data network as the Avaya IR
system.
