Security

SMS 2003 includes enhancements that increase overall system security while simplifying administrative tasks that are involved in systems management security. Because SMS uses the Windows operating system security subsystem, you can delegate administrative privileges granularly to ensure that IT staff have only those permissions that are required to perform assigned tasks. You can also assign privileges and grant other SMS users access to a subset of an SMS feature set. This allows different IT administrators to handle different aspects of system support without granting everyone full rights to the SMS system.
