If You Are the First to Log In to the Console

If you are the first administrator to log in to the console, start the console as a user (yourself). Then, log in as superuser. This method gives you complete access to all of the console tools.

Here are the general steps to follow, depending on whether you are using RBAC:

• Without RBAC – If you choose not to use RBAC, continue working as superuser. All other administrators will also need root access to perform their jobs.

• With RBAC – You will need to do the following:

  • If you do not already have an account, set up your user account.

  • Create the role called Primary Administrator.

  • Assign the Primary Administrator right to the role that you are creating.

  • Assign your user account to this role.

    For step-by-step instructions on creating the Primary Administrator role, see How to Create the First Role (Primary Administrator).

    For an overview of how RBAC works, see Chapter 9, Using Role-Based Access Control (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
