SystemLink Cannot Add or Remove Systems

Issue Details

• I am trying to remove a system from the Systems Management page in SystemLink but the option does not appear. What's wrong?
• On some of my systems in SystemLink, I have the option to remove them. This option is missing on other systems. Why does this happen?

Solution

1. From the SystemLink Web Interface, select the Systems Management >> Systems page.
2. Make a note of the Workspace that the problem system is in.
3. Ensure that you are logged into SystemLink with an administrator account, other wise the next steps will not be possible.
4. From the menu, select Access Control >> Workspaces.
5. For the Workspace noted in step 2, click the ellipses (...) and select Edit Workspace.
6. In the new window, select the Members tab.
7. Ensure that the Member associated with your account has the Workspace Owner or Systems Maintainer role.
   • Other built-in roles do not have the privileges to add or remove systems.
   • Click Update to save changes.

8. [OPTIONAL] If your account is assigned a custom role, or cannot be assigned either of the roles in step 7, follow the steps below:
   • From the menu, select Access Control >> Roles.
   • If using a custom role, click the ellipses (...) next to the role and select Edit Role. Other wise, create a new role by clicking Create Role.
   • Select the Privileges tab.
   • From the drop-down menu, select Systems Management.
   • Enable the Add Systems and Remove Systems privilege (and whichever other privileges are required).
   • Click Update or Create, depending on whether you are editing an existing role or creating a new one.
   • Go back to Access Control >> Workspaces, and assign the new role to your account.
9. The SystemLink Server may take a few minutes to apply changes. To speed up the process, restart the SystemLink services using the NI SystemLink Server Configuration application.

Additional Information

1. Select the Access Control >> Roles tab.
2. Click the ellipses (...) next to one of the built-in roles and select View Role.
3. Select the Privileges tab.
4. Navigate through the drop-down menu to understand which features this role has access to.
