Security Management
Dell provides security and access administration through role-based access
control (RBAC), authentication, and encryption, or through Active Directory
(or through Winbind, Kerberos, LDAP, or NIS on Linux operating systems)
for both the Web-based and command line interfaces.
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."
User Privileges
Server Administrator grants different access rights based on the user's assigned
group privileges. The three user levels are User, Power User, and Administrator.
