Sun Management Center Change Manager 1.0 Administration Guide

Authorizing Users to Access Change Manager

To perform Change Manager operations, you must be an authorized user of the Sun Management Center application. In addition, you must have certain permissions to perform particular tasks.

How to Add Sun Management Center Change Manager Users

When adding users to the Change Manager server, give them the general, administrator, and domain administrator permissions.

  1. Become superuser on the Change Manager server.

  2. Add the names of the users, one valid UNIX® user name per line, to the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/esusers file.


    # tail /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/esusers
    esmaster
    espublic
    root
    pat
    suzi
    chris
    #
  3. Add the names of users to the esadm and esdomain stanzas in the /etc/group file, separating each user name with a comma.

    esadm::1000:root,pat,suzi,chris
    esdomadm::1001:root,pat,suzi,chris

To delete users or user permissions, remove the user names from these files.
