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.
