Limitations

• This command can only be run on the CMS.

• You can remove an authorization that does not exist. This operation results in a return value

of 0.

• An authorization is nonexistent if all of its attributes (user name, toolbox name, node or node

group name) are valid HP SIM objects, but they are not associated as an authorization.

• It is not an error to add an authorization that already exists in HP SIM. This operation results

in a return value of 0.
