Security Views in Configuration Manager

Updated: October 27, 2014

Applies To: System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager

The security views in Configuration Manager contain information about the permissions that are granted to users and user groups to perform operations on secured Configuration Manager object classes and instances, such as collections, applications, deployments, and more.

Security Views

Security views can be used to query for Configuration Manager class or instance permissions for secured objects. In each SQL view, class and instance permission values are listed as a decimal value that is the result of converting bit fields reserved for each security right. More information can be found in the next section. The security views are described in the following table.

Security view	Description
v_SecuredObject	Describes the different types of objects in the Configuration Manager system that can be secured, such as collections, applications, deployments, Wi-Fi and VPN profiles, client settings and many more. The view lists the Configuration Manager objects by object ID and name. The view can be joined to the other security views by using the ObjectTypeID or ObjectTypeName columns.
v_AllItems	Lists all securable objects in the Configuration Manager site by name. It is unlikely that this view will be joined to other views.
V_CategoryPermissions	Lists, for each object type, the permissions for each Configuration Manager collection. The view can be joined to the other security views by using the AdminID column.

v_SecuredObject

Describes the different types of objects in the Configuration Manager system that can be secured, such as collections, applications, deployments, Wi-Fi and VPN profiles, client settings and many more.

The view lists the Configuration Manager objects by object ID and name.

The view can be joined to the other security views by using the ObjectTypeID or ObjectTypeName columns.

v_AllItems

Lists all securable objects in the Configuration Manager site by name.

It is unlikely that this view will be joined to other views.

V_CategoryPermissions

Lists, for each object type, the permissions for each Configuration Manager collection.

The view can be joined to the other security views by using the AdminID column.

How to Interpret Decimal Permission Values

In the security views, there are decimal values that equate to a specific class or instance permissions. Each individual permission uses one of 28 bits. The following table lists each of these permissions, the bit that is used, and the decimal value of that bit.

Permission name	Bit value	Bit position	Decimal value
Read	1	1	1
Modify	10	2	2
Delete	100	3	4
Distribute	1000	4	8
Create Child	10000	5	16

To interpret a permission value, you can convert the decimal value to binary and use the preceding table to get the specific permissions. To help understand this process, see the following examples.

Decimal Conversion Example 1

In the v_SecuredObject view, the SMS_Site secured object has a value of 638983 in the AvailableInstancePermissions column. To find out what this means, first convert the decimal number to binary. This equates to 10011100000000000111, in which the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 20th bits are used. Use the bit values from the preceding table to calculate the values in the following table. When the decimal values are added, they will total the initial 638983 value.

Permission Name	Binary Position	Decimal Value
Read	1	1
Modify	2	2
Delete	3	4
Meter	15	16384
Manage SQL commands	16	32768
Manage status filters	17	65536
Import computer entry	20	524288

Decimal Conversion Example 2

In the v_SecuredObject view, the SMS_Collection secured object has a value of 52435687 in the AvailableInstancePermissions column. This decimal number results in 11001000000001101011100111 when converted to binary. This is interpreted as shown in the following table.

Permission Name	Binary Position	Decimal value
Read	1	1
Modify	2	2
Delete	3	4
Use remote tools	6	32
Advertise	7	64
Modify resource	8	128
Delete resource	10	512
View collected files	12	2048
Read resource	13	4096
Modify collection setting	22	2097152
Manage management controllers	25	16777216
View management controllers	26	33554432

Role Based Administration Views

The following table described the role based administration views in the Configuration Manager database.

v_Roles	Lists all available security roles at the Configuration Manager site. Includes information about whether the role is built-in, who created the role, the role name and description, and more. It is unlikely that this view will be joined to other views.
v_Admins	Returns all administrative users (ie. those who appear in the Administrative Users node under Security in the Administration workspace) This view can be joined to other views by using the AdminID column.
v_SecuredObjectTypes	Lists the various Configuration Manager objects that can be secured by role based administration. It is unlikely that this view will be joined to other views.
v_SecuredScopePermissions	Lists each user of the Configuration Manager site and the security roles they are associated with. This view can be joined to other views by using the AdminID column.
