Several user roles (authority levels) are available, and each one gives a user write and execute access to different areas of management-module and BladeCenter component function. Users with operator authority have read-only authority and can access management-module functions for viewing only. Multiple roles can be assigned to each user through the Custom role, and users with the Supervisor role have write and execute access to all functions within their assigned access scopes.

Attention: If you change the default login profile on the management module, be sure to keep a record of your login ID and password in a safe place. If you forget the management-module login ID and password, you must call for service.
