4.6.2
User Model
The BMC supports the IPMI 2.0 user model including User ID 1 support. 15 user IDs are
supported. These 15 users can be assigned to any channel. The following restrictions are
placed on user-related operations:
1. User names for User IDs 1 and 2 cannot be changed. These are always “” (Null/blank)
and “root” respectively.
i. A “CCh” error completion code is returned if a user attempts to modify these
names.
2. User 2 (“root”) always has the administrator privilege level.
i. A “CCh” error completion code is returned if a user attempts to modify this value.
ii. Trying to set any parameter for User ID 2 (root user) with the Set User Access
command fails with a CCh completion code.
3. All user passwords (including passwords for 1 and 2) may be modified.
4. User IDs 3-15 may be used freely, with the condition that user names are unique.
Therefore, no other users can be named “” (Null), “root,” or any other existing
user name.
Resetting a user name to a value equivalent to its current value results in a 0xCC error code. A
list of default user values is given in Table 17. Default User Values.
