Pre-Requisite Instructions

Here are the pre-requisites for working with Gateway Restrictions in Maximo Monitor 9.2.

Attention

This lab requires Maximo Monitor version 9.2 or later and valid access to the Monitor Setup and Security Modules. Gateway restrictions are only available in MAS 9.2 and later. If you are using version 9.1 or earlier, gateway restrictions are not supported.

All Exercises

All exercises in the Gateway Restrictions module require that you have:

  1. A laptop or desktop with a modern browser – Recommended: Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox

  2. Access to a Maximo Application Suite (MAS) 9.2 environment with:

  3. User login credentials for MAS

  4. Administrator-level access to the Monitor application

  5. A working IBM ID – If you don't have one, create it here – Steps:

    • Click Login to MY IBM
    • Then click Create an IBM ID

  6. Existing Gateways in your Monitor environment:

    • Gateways with different gateway type names
    • These will be used to test gateway restriction functionality

  7. Security Group and User Management knowledge:

  8. For creating Security Groups, assigning users, and adding data restrictions, refer to the 9.1 lab exercises
  9. The 9.1 lab covers the foundational steps for:
    • Creating Security Groups
    • Creating and assigning users
    • Adding data restrictions to Security Groups

Tip

Not all MAS users will have Admin access. Please confirm with your environment administrator before proceeding. If you are new to Resource-Based Access Control, we recommend completing the 9.1 lab first to understand the fundamental concepts of Security Groups, Users, and Data Restrictions.

  • You can log in to the MAS 9.2 environment
  • You can access Security menus
  • You are able to create or modify Security Groups and Users
  • You can view and configure Data Restrictions in Security Groups
  • You can access Setup > Gateways menu in Maximo Monitor
