Description

Description:
If there is a non-admin group EMS user and we need to use that user when we configure the BWAgent for DB/EMS, then we need some special permissions to set for the EMS user so that the agent starts with non-admin group EMS user. As monitor topics contain potentially sensitive system information, authentication and permissions are always checked when clients access a monitor topic. That is, even if authentication for the server is disabled, clients are not able to access monitor topics unless they have logged in with a valid username and password and the the user has permission to view the desired topic. The Admin user and members of the $admin group have permission to perform any server action, including subscribing to monitor topics. All other users must be explicitly granted permission to view monitor topics before the user can create subscribers for monitor topics.

Resolution

Grant the following permissions for the non-admin group user on the tibemsadmin console. 

grant topic "$sys.monitor.>" user=<user> all
grant admin user=<user> view-connection,view-server
