To Assign a User to a Security Group

Steps

1. Ensure that the user login name is in the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/esusers file.

2. Log in as root on the Sun Management Center Server machine.

3. In the /etc/group file, add the user to one of the following lines as applicable: esadm, esops, or esdomadm.

   Separate each entry by a comma. For example, assume that you want to make the following assignments:

   • sysadmin1 and syadmin2 to the domain administration group esdomadm

   • admin1, admin2, and admin3 to the administration group esadm

   • ops1 and ops2 to the operations group esops

   The entries in the /etc/group file would then be:

   esadm::1000:admin1,admin2,admin3
   esdomadm::1001:sysadmin1,sysadmin2
   esops::1002:ops1,ops2

   See Users, Groups, and Roles Overview for a thorough description of each of the security groups.

4. Save the file and exit the editor.

   The user can now log in to Sun Management Center using the security privileges that you have assigned.
