Explanation:
Operations Manager also allows you to create custom roles based on the Operator, Read-Only Operator, Author, and Advanced Operator profiles.
When you create the role, you can further narrow the scope of groups, tasks, and views that the role can access.
For example, you can create a role entitled “Exchange Operator” and narrow the scope to only Exchangerelated groups, views, and tasks.
User accounts assigned to this role will only be able to run Operator- level actions on Exchange-related objects.
Notification Accounts and Groups Individuals in your company that will interact with Operations Manager frequently, such as an Exchange administrator who has been assigned to the Exchange Operator role, need a way to discover new alerts.
This can be done by either watching the Operations console for new alerts or by Operations Manager informing them about the alert via supported communications channels.
Operations Manager supports notifications through e-mail, instant messaging, Short Message Service, or pager messages.
Notifications on what the role needs to know go out to recipients that you specify in Operations Manager.
An Operations Manager recipient is merely an object that has a valid address to receive the notification, such as an SMTP address for e-mail notifications.
Therefore, it is logical to combine role assignment with notification group membership via an email- enabled security group.
For example, create an Exchange Administrators security group and populate it with individuals that have the knowledge and permissions to fix things in Exchange.
Assign this security group to a custom created Exchange Administrator role so they have access to the data and are e-mail-enabled.
Then, create a recipient by using the SMTP address of the email- enabled security group.
