Manage Task Roles

When you create an HMC user, you must assign that user a task role. Each task role allows the user varying levels of access to tasks available on the HMC. There are five predefined roles:

• super administrator
• service representative
• operator
• product engineer
• viewer

To modify an existing predefined user access task role or add a user access task role:

1. From the Navigation Pane, select HMC Management.
2. From the Work Pane, select Manage Task and Resource Roles.
3. To modify a task role, select Task Roles. A list of currently defined roles is displayed.
4. Highlight the targeted role and select Edit. The Modify Role window displays.
5. Make your changes and click OK.
   
   Note: You cannot modify or remove a system defined object.

For details on the different user roles and each HMC User option, see the Operations Guide for the Hardware Management Console and Managed Systems, Appendix A: HMC User Tasks and Roles/IDs.
