User Groups

User Groups are a set of policies to access and modify HP SMH functionalities. Only valid existing
operating system groups can be added to the group list.

To add groups into HP SMH user types, complete the following:

Administrators

Users with Administrator access can view and set all information provided throughout the HP SMH.

The default user group (Administrators for Microsoft operating systems and root for Linux) always
has administrative access.

Windows systems that are part of a domain can specify domain groups and local groups for any
level of access.

smhconfig -d|--admin-group[=] [ groupList ]

Operators

Users with Operator access can view and set most information provided through the HP SMH.
Some web applications limits access to the most critical information to administrators only.

smhconfig -E|--operator-group[=] [ groupList ]

Users

Users with User access can view most information provided through the HP SMH. Some web
applications restricts viewing of critical information from individuals with User access.

smhconfig -G|--user-group[=] [ GROUPLIST ]

Where groupList is a single operating system group or a list of operating system group names
separated by semicolons.

Help message

To display a help message on the screen, use the following command:

smhconfig -h|--help

File-based Command Line Interface

The Command Line Interface (CLI) option enables a file with configuration parameters to be passed
on the command line. The CLI parses the file and processes the arguments. The command to use
a file for the input to the CLI is:

smhconfig -f|--configfile FILE

Command Line Interface File Structure

The CLI file structure format includes the # character for comments, a bracketed key word indicating
the parameter to be set, and the parameter value. An example of the CLI file structure format is as
follows:

# Characters placed after the # on a given line are not parsed.

An example of a configuration file for smhconfig is as follows:

# SMH configuration file for smhconfig

[anonymous-access]

false

[localaccess-enabled]

true

[localaccess-type]

administrator

[user-group]
