Setting user access level privileges:
The Set User Access command sets the access level privileges for a user. The Switched PDU has the following
defined access privilege levels; Admin, Power User, User, Reboot-Only, On-Only and View-Only. For more
information about user access levels, see the “Changing a user’s access privilege level” section.
The administrator can also grant administrative privileges to other user accounts allowing the PDU to have more than one
administrative-level user.
NOTE: You cannot remove administrative access from the default admn user unless you have already granted administrative access to
another user account.
To set the access level privilege for a user:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set user access, followed by admin, poweruser, user, rebootonly, ononly or
viewonly, optionally followed by a username and press Enter.
Examples
The following command sets the user access level for JohnDoe to Admin:
Switched CDU: set user access admin johndoe<Enter>
The following command sets the user access level for JaneDoe to User:
Switched CDU: set user access user janedoe<Enter>
Granting or removing environmental monitoring access:
The Set User Envmon command grants or removes access to environmental monitoring for a user.
To grant or remove environmental monitoring access for a user:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set user envmon followed by on or off, optionally followed by a username, and
press Enter. If a user name is not provided on the Command Line, you will be prompted for a user name.
Example
The following command grants access to environmental monitoring for the user JohnDoe:
Switched CDU: set user envmon on johndoe<Enter>
NOTE: Granting access to environmental monitoring (temperature/humidity/sensors) to a non-admin user also grants that user access to
power monitoring (outlets, infeeds, towers – all the environmental data of the PDU).
