Administrator's Guide

HP SAM Administrator Console Tabs
Home Tab
When you log in to HP SAM, the Home tab page is the default. HP SAM shows a snapshot of current
resource status grouped by roles, as a convenience to the administrator.
Users and Roles Tab
The Users and Roles tab facilitates the management of roles and user access list.
Manage Resource Roles
All roles, as created by computing resources when they self-registered or created with the Create button,
are shown.
●
Role column: A list of all roles.
NOTE: Role names are limited to 128 characters. If you type more than 128 characters for a role
name in a resource configuration file, the role name will work correctly, but it will be truncated to
128 characters.
●
Asset Group column: Shows asset groups that belong to each role.
●
Description column: You can change the description for each role if the name by itself does not
clearly explain what it is or to further differentiate it from the other roles. The role name and
description are displayed to the user on the access device during connect phase, if the user has
access privilege to use more than one role.
●
Policy column: By default, the HP SAM client settings are assigned to the Global Policy. All Global
Policy connection forced settings, if any, within that policy are applied to all users.
NOTE: To override the Global Policy with another policy, create the policy first on the Policies
tab, and then reassign the role to use the appropriate policy here.
●
Enabled column:
◦
If selected, the role is available for allocation.
◦
If there is no check mark, then all blades are unavailable for user connection through HP SAM
within the scope of that role.
◦
To change the setting, click the link for the role, select or clear the check box in the dialog
box, and then click Save.
◦
If the Enabled check box was cleared:
- New user connection requests to this role are denied by the HP SAM Web server.
- Current active connections are left as is.
- Disconnected users are not permitted to reconnect back to their disconnected sessions.
