Sun Management Center Users

Sun Management Centerusers are valid UNIX users on the server host. As such, the system administrator has to add valid users into the file /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/esusers. If a user's name is not in this file, that user cannot log into the Sun Management Center software.

General Users

The administrator has to add the list of user IDs for all users who need to log into Sun Management Center software. All users in this file have general access privileges, by default, unless the users are given additional privileges using the procedures described in To Grant a User esadm, esops, or esdomadm Privileges.

Any user who is part of the esusers file is known as a general user. Sun Management Center general users can, by default, perform the following functions:

• Log into the software

• View the administrative domains, hosts, and modules that are created

• View events

• Trigger manual refreshes

• Run ad hoc commands

• Graph data

Sun Management Center Superuser

The Sun Management Center superuser automatically belongs to all the groups that are described in the following sections. The Sun Management Center superuser has administrator privileges as described in Sun Management Center Administrators or esadm.
