Managing HP Serviceguard A.11.20.10 for Linux, December 2012

Figure 27 Access Roles
5.2.8.3 Levels of Access
Serviceguard recognizes two levels of access, root and non-root:
• Root access: Full capabilities; only role allowed to configure the cluster.
As Figure 27 shows, users with root access have complete control over the configuration of
the cluster and its packages. This is the only role allowed to use the cmcheckconf,
cmapplyconf, cmdeleteconf, and cmmodnet -a commands.
In order to exercise this Serviceguard role, you must log in as the root user (superuser) on a
node in the cluster you want to administer. Conversely, the root user on any node in the cluster
always has full Serviceguard root access privileges for that cluster; no additional Serviceguard
configuration is needed to grant these privileges.
