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

Here are the general steps, depending on whether 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 will need to do the following:

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

  • Create the role called Primary Administrator.

  • Assign the Primary Administrator right to the role that 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 using RBAC, see Chapter 9, Using Role-Based Access Control (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
