Dell POWEREDGE M1000E - Manual (Page 122)

Privilege Description
• Provides services to the chassis, such as date and time, firmware
update, and CMC reset.
• Is associated with the chassis, such as slot name and slot priority.
Although these properties apply to the servers, they are strictly chassis
properties relating to the slots rather than the servers themselves. For
this reason, slot names and slot priorities can be added or changed
whether or not servers are present in the slots.
When a server is moved to a different chassis, it inherits the slot name and
priority assigned to the slot it occupies in the new chassis. Its previous slot
name and priority remain with the previous chassis.
NOTE: CMC users with the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege
can configure power settings. However, the Chassis Control
Administrator privilege is needed to perform chassis power operations,
including power on, power off, and power cycle.
User Configuration Administrator User can:
• Add a new user.
• Change a user's password.
• Change a user's privileges.
• Enable or disable a user's login privilege but retain the user's name and
other privileges in the database.
Clear Logs Administrator User can clear the hardware log and CMC log.
Chassis Control Administrator (Power
Commands) CMC users with the Chassis Power Administrator privilege can perform all
power-related operations. They can control chassis power operations,
including power on, power off, and power cycle.
NOTE: To configure power settings, the Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege is needed.
Server Administrator This is a blanket privilege, granting a CMC user all rights to perform any
operation on any servers present in the chassis.
When a user with Server Administrator privilege issues an action to be
performed on a server, the CMC firmware sends the command to the
targeted server without checking the user's privileges on the server. In other
words, the Server Administrator privilege overrides any lack of administrator
privileges on the server.
Without the Server Administrator privilege, a user created on the chassis
can only execute a command on a server when all of the following conditions
are true:
• The same user name exists on the server.
• The same user name must have the same password on the server.
• The user must have the privilege to execute the command.
When a CMC user who does not have Server Administrator privilege issues
an action to be performed on a server, CMC sends a command to the
targeted server with the user’s login name and password. If the user does
not exist on the server, or if the password does not match, the user is denied
the ability to perform the action.
If the user exists on the target server and the password matches, the server
responds with the privileges of which the user was granted on the server.
