Privilege Description
• Is assigned specifically to the chassis, such as IP mode (static or
DHCP), static IP address, static gateway, and static subnet mask.
• Provides services to the chassis, such as date and time, firmware
update, and CMC reset.
• Is associated with the chassis, such as slot name and slot
priority. Although these properties apply to the servers, they are
strictly chassis properties relating to the slots rather than the
servers themselves. For this reason, slot names and slot
priorities can be added or changed whether or not servers are
present in the slots.
When a server is moved to a different chassis, it inherits the slot
name and priority assigned to the slot it occupies in the new
chassis. The previous slot name and priority remain with the
previous chassis.
NOTE: CMC users with the Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege can configure power settings.
However, the Chassis Control Administrator privilege is
required to perform chassis power operations, including
power on, power off, and power cycle.
User Configuration Administrator User can:
• Add a new user.
• Change the password of a user.
• Change the privileges of a user.
• Enable or disable the login privilege of a user but retain the
name and other privileges of the user in the database.
Clear Logs Administrator User can clear the hardware log and CMC log.
Chassis Control Administrator
(Power Commands)
CMC users with the Chassis Power Administrator privilege can
perform all power-related operations. They can control chassis
power operations, including power on, power off, and power cycle.
NOTE: To configure power settings, the Chassis
Configuration Administrator privilege is needed.
Server Administrator This is a blanket privilege, granting a CMC user all rights to perform
any operation on any servers present in the chassis.
When a user with Server Administrator privilege issues an action to
be performed on a server, the CMC firmware sends the command
to the targeted server without checking the privileges of a user on
the server. In other words, the Server Administrator privilege
overrides any lack of administrator privileges on the server.
Without the Server Administrator privilege, a user created on the
chassis can only execute a command on a server when all of the
following conditions are true:
• The same user name exists on the server.
• The same user name must have the same password on the
server.
• The user must have the privilege to execute the command.
