Using the CMC Web Interface 169
Table 5-42. User Types
Privilege Description
CMC Login
User
User can log in to CMC and view all the CMC data, but cannot
add or modify data or execute commands.
It is possible for a user to have other privileges without the CMC
Login User privilege. This feature is useful when a user is
temporarily not allowed to login. When that user’s CMC Login
User privilege is restored, the user retains all the other privileges
previously granted.
Chassis
Configuration
Administrator
User can add or change data that:
• Identifies the chassis, such as chassis name and chassis location
• Is assigned specifically to the chassis, such as IP mode (static or
DHCP), static IP address, static gateway, and static subnet mask
•Provides services to the chassis, such as date and time,
firmware update, and CMC reset.
• Is associated with the chassis, such as slot name and slot priority.
Although these properties apply to the servers, they are strictly
chassis properties relating to the slots rather than the servers
themselves. For this reason, slot names and slot priorities can be
added or changed whether or not servers are present in the slots.
When a server is moved to a different chassis, it inherits the slot
name and priority assigned to the slot it occupies in the new
chassis. Its previous slot name and priority remain with the
previous chassis.
NOTE: CMC users with the Chassis Configuration Administrator
privilege can configure power settings. However, the Chassis Control
Administrator privilege is needed to perform chassis power
operations, including power on, power off, and power cycle.
User
Configuration
Administrator
User can:
• Add a new user.
• Change a user's password.
• Change a user's privileges.
• Enable or disable a user's login privilege but retain the user's
name and other privileges in the database.
