This section describes the objects that can be managed by the N1 System Manager commands.

The available objects are listed in the following table.

os	A binary distribution of an OS, also known as an OS distribution.
osprofile	An OS profile, which is a configuration file that defines how to install an OS distribution.
privilege	A predefined set of permissions enabling a user to perform certain operations within the N1 System Manager. A privilege may be granted to a user by assigning it to a role and then assigning the role to the user.
role	A set of privileges that can be assigned to a N1 System Manager user. The N1 System Manager provides three predefined roles: ReadOnly, SecurityAdmin, and Admin. Authorized users may create customized roles, but users cannot modify the predefined roles.
