System Management Homepage 2.0 uses operating system accounts for authentication and enables you to manage the level of access of operating system accounts at an operating system account group level. The users in the operating system group Administrators (or root for Linux and HP-UX) can define operating system groups that correspond to System Management Homepage access levels of Administrator, Operator, or User. After the operating system groups are added, the operating system administrator can add operating system users into these operating system groups. Each System Management Homepage access level can be assigned up to five different operating system groups. The System Management Homepage installation enables you to assign the operating system groups to the System Management Homepage. If a specified operating system group is not defined when the System Management Homepage is started, the System Management Homepage log message indicates which operating system groups are not defined. The accounts used for System Management Homepage do not need to have any elevated access on the host operating system. Any administrative System Management Homepage user can specify operating system user groups to each access level of System Management Homepage, and then all accounts in each operating system user group have the access to System Management Homepage that is specified on the Security - User Groups. The Windows administrators group and the Linux root group automatically have administrative access to the system. For example, the System Management Homepage Administrator access level could be assigned the user-created operating system groups Admin1, Admin2, and Admin3. Any user that is a member of the operating system user groups (Admin1, Admin2, or Admin3) is given administrative rights on the System Management Homepage whether or not the accounts have any elevated access on the host operating system.
