The filters you apply when you create a set of systems are listed at the top of the page. To

the new group.

This step defines the privileges that members of the group have for configuring the other
members of the group.
6. Optional: Enter the Login Name and Password for a user account on the remote systems
you want to manage.
This information is required if the selected group does not have the Configure iLO Settings
privilege on the remote systems you want to manage.

name and password on each system.
