168 Using the CMC Web Interface
Adding and Configuring CMC Users
To manage your system with CMC and maintain system security,
create unique users with specific administrative permissions (or role-based
authority). For additional security, you can also configure alerts that are
e-mailed to specific users when a specific system event occurs.
User Types
There are two types of users: CMC users and iDRAC users. CMC users are
also known as "chassis users." Since iDRAC resides on the server, iDRAC users
are also known as "server users."
CMC users can be local users or directory service users. iDRAC users can also
be local users or directory service users.
Except where a CMC user has Server Administrator privilege, privileges
granted to a CMC user are not automatically transferred to the same user on
a server, because server users are created independently from CMC users.
In other words, CMC Active Directory users and iDRAC Active Directory
users reside on two different branches in the Active Directory tree. To create
a local server user, the Configure Users must log in to the server directly. The
Configure Users cannot create a server user from CMC or vice versa. This rule
protects the security and integrity of the servers.
