  • Administrative grouping of network resources
    Patent number: 7987269

The domain manager identifies at least one asset of the set of assets to be included in the administrative domain. An asset can be a hardware resource (e.g., computer, router, etc.) and/or a software resource (e.g., word processing application). In addition, the domain manager identifies at least one user of the set of users to be included in the administrative domain. The domain manager also establishes a set of roles within the administrative domain. For example, each role can define permissions (e.g., levels of accessibility) between a user and an asset (or group of assets) in the administrative domain.
