User permissions

4.2 User permissions

The iRMC S2/S3 distinguishes between two mutually complementary types of
user permissions:
Channel-specific privileges (via assignment to channel-specific permission
groups)
Permissions to use special iRMC S2/S3 functions
IThe privileges and permissions required for the use of the individual
iRMC S2/S3 functions are described
for the iRMC S2/S3-web interface, on page 138,
for the Remote Manager, on page 330.
Channel-specific privileges (channel-specific permission groups)
The iRMC S2/S3 assigns each user identification to one of the following four
channel-specific permission groups:
–users
– Operator
– Administrator
–OEM
Since iRMC S2/S3 assigns these permissions on a channel-specific basis,
users can have different permissions, depending on whether they access the
iRMC S2/S3 over the LAN interface or the serial interface.
The scope of permissions granted increases from User (lowest permission level)
through Operator and Administrator up to OEM (highest permission level).
IThe permission groups correspond to the IPMI privilege level. Certain
permissions (e.g. for Power Management) are associated with these
groups or privilege levels.
