A network device using a method for presenting a set of network-based administrative management objects based on attributes associated with a user. The method includes determining attributes of the user, storing a base management object, providing an organization specific management object, and displaying a graphic user interface. The organization management object defines the graphic user interface and interfaces a user to a computer system. The base management object provides the organization specific management object based on the attributes of the user.

Custom administrator views of management objects

An apparatus and method for displaying a page of a user interface of computer system in multiple languages. The computer system includes a memory that contains a plurality of string values that correspond to text in different languages. A memory object represents a page of the user interface and includes a set of variables formatted to be associated with string values. A processor selectively associates the variables with the string values that correspond to the language selected by the user.

Displaying computer interfaces in multiple languages

A network packet switch provides access to a network-based computer system. The switch has a computer-readable medium containing a computer program product to produce management objects used to configure the switch. The switch accepts an interface request from a user, determines attributes associated with the user, establishes a request processor comprising variables that are based on attributes of the user. The request processor parses data files, based on the attributes associated with the user, to construct a set of management objects.
