Understanding Role-Based Administration in Microsoft SCCM

Video Guide

Overview

• In this video guide, we will review how to set up role-based administration System Center Configuration Manager. This guide will cover all the essential components required for RBA including security roles, security scopes, and collections. We will cover how to use RBA to split workstation and server admins as well as two different departments. We will also review using default security roles and custom security roles and using custom scopes.
