WMI provides user authentication before granting access to the CIM data and methods. Access privileges are enforced by Distributed
Component Object Model (DCOM) security and CIMOM. Complete or limited access is granted to users on per-namespace basis. There is
no class implementation or property-level security. By default, users who are members of the administrators group have complete local and
remote access to WMI.
For Dell Command | Monitor for Windows, you can congure WMI security using the WMI Control available in the Computer Management
console under the Services and Applications section. Right-click WMI Control, and then click Properties. You can congure namespace-
specic security from the Security tab. You can also run WMI Control from the Start menu or from the CLI, by running wmimgmt.msc.
