Security Management
Dell provides security and access administration through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication,
and encryption, or through Active Directory for both the Web-based and command line interfaces.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed by users in specific roles. Each
user is assigned one or more roles, and each role is assigned one or more user privileges that are permitted to
users in that role. With RBAC, security administration can correspond closely to an organization's
structure. For information about setting up Dell OpenManage users, see "Assigning User Privileges."
