Symantec Management Platform (Notification Server)

Has any one been able to secure filters as you could with NS6.  We have looked at using Organsational views and groups, however this doesn't work in the same way - if we used this method things would get very messy.

We are not worried about creating security using these groups or filters, at least at this stage. We are purely worried about this from a SWD and resource management.

Essentially, we want to make sure that we can filter our deployments using previously created (or predefined) filters, in the same way we do now with collections.

the organizational groups would fit your needs, except of course they have to manually populated at this time (no query or connector is available in the console itself). So, my thoughts are that you could create a filter and set security on that, but I'd have to test and see if that actually made any difference.

So, you could create a Filter - Start with All Computers where Operating System 'in' Windows XP, and not in servers (just musing, no console accessible at the moment). Then grant your security role read access to that, and not to other filters.

Still messy, but possible.
