Chapter 9. IBM Systems Director Management Console management 205
Roles
There are four roles that are initially defined on the SDMC:
SMAdministrator
The Administrator role has full authority to all tasks and commands, including
security administration, product installation, and configuration.
SMManager
The Manager role can perform a subset of the tasks that an Administrator can
perform. Typically, system administration, system health management, and
configuration tasks are available.
SMUser
The User role includes any authenticated user and allows only basic
operations, such as viewing resources and properties.
SMMonitor
The Monitor role can access those administrative functions that provide
read-only access. Primarily, monitoring, notifications, and status tasks are
available.
Additionally, another role is predefined in the Systems Manager Director
Console:
GroupRead
This permission grants a user the ability to view or open a group defined in
SDMC.
Roles can be listed on the command line by using the smcli lsrole command
(Example 9-3).
