Module Security

Sun Management Center provides module level security for Service Management Facility(SMF), Module Configuration Propagation (MCP), and Solaris Container Manager modules. Any user will be able to load any module on the Sun Management Center agent. However, for setting/changing actions or values on the module, the user needs to have prior permissions. Module security is provided in two ways: RBAC (Role Based Access Control) and local file access.

RBAC is based on profiles. Users having the required profiles can perform profile-specific tasks. RBAC can be implemented by running Solaris system administration commands.

Local file access is independent of the OS. The users need to have the required permissions to be added to the local access file. Security through local file access can implemented by using the es-config command. For more information refer to Using es-config.
