Hi all,

I'm designing a managed configuration of TSM servers.  Our management structure here 
is a central TSM with level2/3 support functions, and some district offices that will 
have their own TSM servers, plus some remote TSM servers in their remote locations.

central ->[many districts]->[many satellites]

I'd like to manage as much of this centrally as possible.

Now I intend to set up adminstrator profiles on the configuration manager, and all TSM 
Servers in a given district will subscribe to that district's profile,
so any admin in a district will be able to administer any server in that district, and 
only that district. This means that they have to log into the config manager to update 
their passwords.

Now for operational reasons, theys guys will need unrestricted policy privilege to do 
their work.  They won't be able to change any of the policies that are subscribed from 
the config manager on their local TSM, but what is to stop them from logging on to the 
config manager directly and changing policies  there?

I could stop them from logging on to the config manager by locking the ids there, 
since lock status is not distributed, but, then they can't log in to change their 
passwords.


Have I missed something? How do others handle this.
