User roles are configured for user accounts on the server SP using Oracle ILOM. For a complete description of the available roles, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation.
You can assign specific roles to a user account to allow a user to execute certain Oracle ILOM commands and perform certain actions on a specific set of components. Those components can be physical components, domains, or physical components within a domain. By specifying roles for each user, you can control which operations each user is allowed to perform.
When you assign user roles to a user account for a specific component such as a PDomain, you grant capabilities that mirror the capabilities of the user roles assigned for the platform, but they are restricted to commands executed on the given component. Tasks in this document specify the user roles required and commands used to perform certain tasks on the server and on individual domains.
Roles that apply to the platform differ from roles that apply to a host as follows:
Specify a user's access to all hosts on the server and components that are shared by all hosts. Configure these user roles from /SP/users/user-ID/role=value, as documented in the Oracle ILOM documentation.
Specify a user's access to a specific host on the server and components that are specific to that host. Host-specific components are located under /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_x/HOST. Configure these user roles from /SP/users/user-ID/host_roles/hostx_role=value.
