Although we have all the guides available at our disposal, it can be a lot of reading to gain an understanding of how all the security related components interact.
This article isn’t necessarily intended for the Operations Manager 2007 administrator who has been in the trenches for a while. More so, this is for those who are interested in Operations Manager 2007, and need a 5 minute conceptual overview of the security model implemented within the product.
