Stop Other Operator's Actions feature

A non-master operator (NMO) can stop the actions submitted by other non-master operators if specific conditions are satisfied.

Requirements for the non-master operator (NMO) launching the action (the issuer)

This NMO must have at least the possibility to create and submit an action and some computers assigned, either inherited from an assigned role or explicitely assigned, but there are no other specific restrictions or requirements, related to this feature, for him.



Requirements for the non-master operator (NMO) stopping the action (the stopper)

  1. This NMO must have both the Show Other Operators' Actions and the Stop Other Operator's Actions effective permissions set to Yes.


  2. This NMO must have a set of assigned role names which is either identical or a superset of those of the issuer. Note that the comparison is based on the name of these assigned roles only. The issuer can even have no roles assigned, in this case it is not required for the stopper to have roles assigned as well.
  3. This NMO must have a set of Explicit Computer Assignments Definitions which is either identical or a superset of those of the issuer. Note that the Explicit Computer Assignments Definitions is not the list of targets which are assigned to an operator, but the definition of those computer assignments. To a NMO can be associated several explicit assignments at the same time. The All computers explicit assignment is not a superset of other computer assignment definitions. As for roles, the issuer can even have no computers explicitely assigned and, in this case, it is not required for the stopper to have explicit assignments as well.

Other considerations

In addition, take into account that the assignments inherited from the assigned roles (specified in the Assigned Roles tab of the NMO) and those explicitly assigned (specified in the Computer Assignments tab of the NMO) are evaluated separately.

Now follow some examples of Assigned Roles and of Computer Assignments.

The following screenshot shows multiple roles (myrole1 and myrole2) assigned to an NMO.



The following screenshot shows multiple computer assignment definitions assigned to an NMO which are:
  • By 'Computer Type' property -> Virtual
  • By 'BES Relay Selection Method' property -> Manual
  • By Group -> mygroup1
