Managing Serviceguard A.11.20, March 2013

Figure 36 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 36 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.
