Controllable ports

All ports have a “Controllable” attribute visible from the Advanced Mode, which represents a

combination of the RBAC and Admin Domain permissions, as shown in Figure 29 on page 87.

The Controllable attribute is No in the following situations:

• If your account has read-only permission, all accessible ports display in read-only mode,

regardless of the Admin Domain context. All configuration functionality is disabled.

• Non-owned E_Ports and indirect member ports on non-owned switches are accessible in

read-only mode and are not controllable, regardless of RBAC permissions.

The Controllable attribute is Yes for ports that are directly owned by the current Admin Domain and

for all ports on switches that are owned by the current Admin Domain, if your role gives you Modify

permission for ports. If a port is controllable, all configuration functionality is enabled.
