RBA Gotcha Resolved in SCCM Newly Installed DP is Not Visible in Console

RBA Gotcha Resolved in SCCM Newly Installed DP is Not Visible in Console ConfigMgr Endpoint Manager. I have blogged about several Role-Based Administration Gotchas, and one of them is given below: SCCM RBAC Implementation Troubleshooting Guide.

One of my topics is why the Newly installed DP is Not Visible to the Infrastructure Administrator. I will provide more details here.

Microsoft resolved this issue after upgrading to SCCM ConfigMgr. The good news is that Role-Based Administration (RBA) in SCCM now respects the security scope of the CM 12 administrator installing the DP role.

The installed DP will be assigned to the security scope of the administrator who installed it. Earlier, all the installed DPs were assigned to the DEFAULT security scope. That was not ideal when you have a very complex environment with CAS and many primaries.

This change in SCCM makes much more sense. The list below helps you provide more details. Scenario before SCCM ConfigMgr.

SCCM 2012 Infrastructure administrator installs a new remote DP under a primary site. He has infrastructure administrator security access and a location-specific security scope (more details about the security scope scenario are explained here).

DP installs successfully, but it won’t be visible for SCCM 2012 admin in his console. RBA Gotcha Resolved in SCCM Newly Installed DP is Not Visible. Meanwhile, the SCCM CAS full administrator can view the DP and its installation status, etc.

When an Infrastructure administrator installs a DP, the security scope of the DP is automatically set to “DEFAULT“. If you’ve created different security scopes for different regions or country administrators, then the regional administrators won’t manage the installed DP. So, the workaround was to inform the CAS admin whenever any new DP was installed in regional locations.
