Role and scope-based access control in OpenManage
Enterprise
OpenManage Enterprise has Role Based Access Control (RBAC) that clearly defines the user privileges for the three built-in
roles—Administrator, Device Manager, and Viewer. Additionally, using the Scope-Based Access Control (SBAC) an administrator
can limit the device groups that a device manager has access to. The following topics further explain the RBAC and SBAC
features.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) privileges in OpenManage Enterprise
Users are assigned roles which determine their level of access to the appliance settings and device management features. This
feature is termed as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). The console enforces the privilege required for a certain action before
allowing the action.
This table lists the various privileges that are enabled for each role.
