Setup And Administration
Server Administrator provides security through role- based access control (RBAC), authentication, and encryption for both the Web-based
and command line interfaces.
Topics:
• Role-Based Access Control
• Authentication
• Encryption
• Assigning User Privileges
Role-Based Access Control
RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed by persons in particular roles. Each user is assigned one or
more roles, and each role is assigned one or more privileges that are permitted to users in that role. With RBAC, security administration
corresponds closely to an organization's structure.
User privileges
Server Administrator grants dierent access rights based on the user's assigned group privileges. The four user privilege levels are: User,
Power User, Administrator, and Elevated Administrator.
