Create Local User Accounts With Role-Based Privileges

Oracle ILOM supports the creation and storage of up to 10 local user accounts on a single SP. Oracle ILOM users are assigned a set of privileges that enables them to work with features to the extent they are permissible by their configured account.

Note:

Alternatively, system administrators can configure Oracle ILOM to support additional user accounts through a remote authentication service. With a remote authentication service configuration, logins, passwords, and privileges are derived from an external user store. For more details, see Remote Authentication Services and Security Profiles.
