NOTE: The Appliance Access Rights screen for the admin and appliance-admin user groups is read-only and
cannot be changed. Unchecking any box and clicking Save will result in an error message. The PM PDU will
maintain all rights selected.
appliance-admin group
Members of the appliance-admin group have access restricted to tasks for managing only the
appliance. Appliance-admin
user group members have no access to power management options,
and share all of the appliance access rights as admin except for Configure User Accounts and Shell
Access, which are permanently disabled for this group.
user group
Members of the user group have access to target devices
unless they are restricted by an
administrator but have no access rights for the PM PDU. Administrators can add appliance access
rights and permissions, or can add users to custom user groups to add permissions and access rights
as needed. By default, all selections on the Appliance Access Rights screen will be disabled.
NOTE: The Appliance Access Rights screen for the user group can be changed at any time by an administrator.
This will change the access rights for all members of the PM PDU’s user group.
