Web Interface

You can manage and monitor jobs via a robust web interface.  Unlike many other web management consoles, Peer Management Center's web interface is very responsive and is built to mirror the functionality of the rich client (which is included with the Peer Management Center installer for use by system administrators).

When properly configured, the web interface allows system administrators to manage Peer Management Center's jobs from any location without the need to remotely log in to the Peer Management Center server.

UI-Web Interface

Roles

The web interface includes a role-based log-in system with two predefined roles:

admin - This role has complete access to all functionality found in the Peer Management Center's rich client.

helpdesk - This role has read-only view of jobs and the ability to release conflicts for any running jobs.

Specifically, users with helpdesk accounts are limited to read-only access of the following:

The Jobs view

The Runtime views

The Summary and Session tabs of each job.

In addition, helpdesk accounts have read-write access to the Quarantines tab of each job, with the ability to release conflicts.
