The NetView administrator requires root access to install and configure
NetView on UNIX.
It says so in several places in the doc.
It has always been so and will always be so.
If you are the NetView administrator then you should have root authority.
Your IT department needs to be made to understand that.

Subject: [nv-l] AIX root access on 7.1
I placed a question yesterday, but maybe I didn't word it correctly.
Before my time I was told that in order to use SMIT on AIX to execute
commands that you are are accustom to completing via command line (like in
DOS) you are required to have root access to the box. We are looking into
migrating to AIX from NT. Root access was required to perform software
upgrades in the past (couple of years ago when we were testing Netview on
AIX) of which Communication Services (my department) did not have access
and
had to rely on AIX group to perform these tasks.
Does this still apply in Netview 7.1 and if there is documentation that
mentions this, and can you point me to it?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you,
