IBM BladeCenter Management Module - Chapter 3. Using the Management-Module Web Interface; User Authority

Chapter 3. Using the management-module Web interface
This section provides instructions for using the management-module Web interface
in the active (primary) management module. It has sections that describe:
v Features of the management-module Web interface that can be accessed by
users, based on their authority level (see “User authority”).
v “Starting the management-module Web interface” on page 12.
v Descriptions of the management-module Web interface screens (see
“Management-module Web interface options” on page 14).
v “Network and security configuration” on page 35.
v Backup and restore of the management-module configuration (see “Using the
configuration file” on page 54).
User authority
Some fields and selections in the management-module Web interface screens can
only be changed or executed by users that are assigned a required level of
authority for that window. Viewing information does not require any special
command authority. Users with “Supervisor” command authority can change
information and execute tasks in all windows.
The following table lists the management-module Web interface windows and the
authority levels that are required to change information in these windows. The
windows and authorities listed in this table only apply to changing the information in
a window or executing a task specified in a window: viewing the information in a
window does not require any special command authority. In the table, each row
indicates the valid user command authorities that let a user change the information
or execute a task in that window. For example, executing tasks in the Blade Tasks
→ Power/Restart window is available to users with the “Supervisor” authority or to
users with the “Blade and I/O Module Power/Restart Access” authority.
