Up to 12 login profiles can be set up for the management module. Select Login Profiles to view information about each login profile. All management-module types display the login ID and role or access level that is assigned to each user: supervisor (S), operator (O), or custom (C).

Click a login ID to configure settings that are specific to a login profile. You also can configure settings that apply to all of the login profiles. The settings for all profiles are configured in the Global Login Settings area. Click the login ID of an unused profile to set up a profiles for a new user.

For each user profile, specify the following values:

Login ID
Password (requires confirmation)
Role or Authority Level (default is Operator or Read-Only)
Defines the command areas that a user can access, according to the user's access scope. Roles or authority levels might vary according to the type of BladeCenter unit that you are using and the management-module firmware version that is installed.
Access Scope
Defines where the role or user authority that is defined for a user is valid.

Important: Roles or command authority definitions might change between firmware versions. Make sure that the role or command authority level that is set for each user is correct after you update the management-module firmware.

The following illustration shows user profile settings for the newer versions of management-module firmware.

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.

Click Configure SNMPv3 User to perform additional user configuration that is required for SNMPv3 (see Configuring SNMP for instructions).
