This document describes the rules for granting administrator rights to users.
The system administration feature on a host level is a global functionality for all products that are managed by System Management Hub. By default, the system administrator can define administrators for the various products.
Product security is specific to each managed host. The installation procedure of System Management Hub requires the definition of an initial System Management Hub administrator who is identified uniquely by a user ID. On Windows, you can also use a domain account; for example, domain/user or domain\user.
After installation, only the user identified by this ID can manage System Management Hub. However, this initially-defined administrator can define new administrators or grant administrator rights to other users.
To define new System Management Hub administrators:
Log on to the target host (initial administrator).
Select System Management Hub as the product to be managed.
Assign the rights using the following commands:
Add administrator
Modify administrator
Delete administrator
For more information on how to display, add, or delete administrators for System Management Hub and for the other installed products, see Managing Administrator Accounts in System Management Hub.
If you want to define new System Management Hub administrators, you must consider the following:
When you install a product, you become automatically an administrator for that product.
Administrators who install System Management Hub are automatically added as System Management Hub administrators.
If you are an administrator, you can add administrators only for the product for which you act as an administrator.
The administrators who are added later by the administrator of the product have administrator's rights only for their product.
When you add a new administrator, you must specify at least one product for which to act as an administrator.
The administrators for a product can be deleted as administrators for that product only.
Two Administrators are registered after installation - the Install user and the Administrator user with a default password "manage".
