HP OneView Use, Table 5 Appliance role types, Table 6 Action privileges for user roles

If you cannot see resource information or perform a resource task, your assigned role does not have the correct privileges. In this case, you should request a different role or an additional role.

20.4 About user roles

User roles enable you to assign permissions and privileges to users based on their job responsibilities. You can assign full privileges to a user, or you can assign a subset of permissions to view, create, edit, or remove resources managed by the appliance.

20.5 Action privileges for user roles

The following table lists the user action privileges associated with each user role. The Use privilege is a special case that allows you to associate objects to objects that you own but you are not allowed to change. For example, in a logical interconnect group, a user assigned the role of Server administrator is not allowed to define logical interconnect groups, but can use them when adding an enclosure.
