Add User
Use this option to add new local iLO user accounts, including:
New User iLO 4 Privileges
• Administer User Accounts—Enables a user to add, edit, and delete local iLO user accounts. A user with
this privilege can change privileges for all users. If you do not have this privilege, you can view your own
settings and change your own password.
• Remote Console Access—Enables a user to remotely access the host system Remote Console,
including video, keyboard, and mouse control.
• Virtual Power and Reset—Enables a user to power-cycle or reset the host system. These activities
interrupt the system availability. A user with this privilege can diagnose the system by using the Generate
NMI to System button.
• Virtual Media—Enables a user to use the Virtual Media feature on the host system.
• Configure Settings—Enables a user to configure most iLO settings, including security settings, and to
remotely update the iLO firmware. This privilege does not enable local user account administration.After
iLO is configured, revoking this privilege from all users prevents reconfiguration using the web interface,
HPQLOCFG, or the CLI. Users who have access to iLO RBSU, the iLO 4 Configuration Utility, or
HPONCFG can still reconfigure iLO. Only a user who has the Administer User Accounts privilege can
enable or disable this privilege.
