Using the GMS TreeControl Menu

This section describes the content of the TreeControl menu within the GMS management interface. The TreeControl menu view and update permissions can be configured for multiple SonicWALL GMS user types. SonicWALL GMS provides granular “screen permissions” to enable or disable all TreeControl menu screens for the Policies, Reports, Monitor, and Console panels. For more information on configuring SonicWALL GMS user screen, unit, or action permissions, refer to Configuring Action Permissions .

You can control the display of the TreeControl pane by selecting one of the appliance tabs at the top. For example, when you click the Firewall tab, the TreeControl pane displays all the managed firewall units. You can display any of the following appliance types when SonicWALL GMS is managing all of these device types:

•

Firewall

•

SRA

•

CDP

•

ES

You can hide the entire TreeControl pane by clicking the sideways arrow icon, and re-display the pane by clicking it again. This is helpful when viewing some reports or other extra-wide screens, especially on the Monitor or Console panel.

To open a TreeControl menu, right-click the View All icon, a Group icon, or a Unit icon.

The following options are available in the right-click menu:

•	Find—Opens a Find dialog box that allows you to search for groups or units.
