HP SMH uses operating system accounts
for authentication and enables you to manage the level of access of
operating system accounts at an operating system account group level.
The users in the operating system group Administrators for Windows, or the operating system group root (which in turn contains the user root
by default) for Linux, can define operating system groups
that correspond to HP SMH access levels of Administrator, Operator, or User. After operating system
groups are added, the operating system administrator can add operating
system users into these operating system groups. Each HP SMH access level can be assigned
up to five operating system groups. The HP SMH installation enables
you to assign the operating system groups to HP SMH. HP SMH will not
allow adding an operating system group if the specified operating
system group is not defined in the operating system. The accounts used for HP SMH do not need
to have elevated access on the host operating system. Any administrative HP SMH
user can specify operating system user groups to each access level
of HP SMH. As a result, all accounts in each operating system user
group have the access to HP SMH specified in the User Groups window.
The Windows administrators
group and the Linux root group have administrative
access to the HP SMH.
For example, the HP SMH Administrator
access level could be assigned the user-created operating system groups
Admin1, Admin2, and Admin3. Any user that is a member of the operating
system user groups (Admin1, Admin2, or Admin3) is given administrative
rights on HP SMH whether the accounts have elevated access on the host
operating system. The User Groups page enables you to add user
groups to HP SMH. The following levels of user group authorizations
are available: Administrator. Users with Administrator access can view all information
provided through HP SMH. The default user group, Administrators for Windows operating systems and root for Linux, always has administrative
access. Operator. Users with Operator access can view and set most information provided
through HP SMH. Some web applications limit access to the most critical
information to administrators only. User. Users with User access can view most information provided through HP SMH.
Some web applications restrict viewing of critical information from
individuals with User access.
