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), and then log in as superuser. This method gives you complete access to all the console tools.

Here are the general steps, depending on whether or not 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'll need to do the following:

  • Set up your user account, if you do not already have one.

  • Create the role called Primary Administrator.

  • Assign the Primary Administrator right to the role 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 on configuring RBAC to use roles, see “Configuring RBAC (Task Map)” in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
