Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition, September 2010

Figure 5-1 Access Roles
Levels of Access
Serviceguard recognizes two levels of access, root and non-root:
• Root access: Full capabilities; only role allowed to configure the cluster.
As Figure 5-1 shows, users with root access have complete control over the
configuration of the cluster and its packages. This is the only role allowed to use
the cmcheckconf, cmapplyconf, cmdeleteconf, and cmmodnet -a
commands.
In order to exercise this Serviceguard role, you must log in as the HP-UX root user
(superuser) on a node in the cluster you want to administer. Conversely, the HP-UX
root user on any node in the cluster always has full Serviceguard root access
privileges for that cluster; no additional Serviceguard configuration is needed to
grant these privileges.
