Assigning Root, User+, And User Privileges To Accounts - IBM BladeCenter 4-Port Installation Manual

Complete the following steps to create a new user account:
1. Toggle the Action field to <Add> using the space bar. This will allow the
addition of a new user. The other options are:
<Delete>
Deletes a user entry.
<Update>
Makes changes to an existing user entry.
2. Enter the new user's name in the Username field, assign an initial
password in the New Password field, and then confirm the new password
in the Confirm New Password field. Determine whether the new user
should have <Root>, <User+>, or <User> privileges (see "Assigning Root,
User+, and User privileges to accounts" for descriptions of these
privileges). The space bar toggles among these three options in the Access
Level field.
3. Highlight APPLY and press Enter to make the addition of the new user
effective.
4. Press Esc to return to the previous window or Ctrl+T to go to the root
window.
A listing of all current user accounts and access levels is displayed near the
top of the Setup User Accounts window. This list is updated when APPLY
is processed.
Important: The command APPLY makes changes to the switch configuration
for the current session only. If you want your changes to be permanent, select
Save Changes from the main menu. Selecting Save Changes enters the current
switch configuration, including all changes, into NVRAM, and then restarts the
switch module.

Assigning Root, User+, and User privileges to accounts

There are three levels of user privileges: Root, User+, and User. Some menu
selections that are available to users with Root privileges might not be
available to those with User+ and User privileges.
Note: User privileges are also known as normal user privileges.
The following table summarizes the Root, User+, and User privileges that you
can assign to accounts:
