Individual task roles with access to specific resources if not created and restricted, will allow unrestricted access to system functions. The following is an example of some managed resource categories: Tasks are functions that a user can perform, and the managed resource role defines where those tasks might be carried out. The Access Administrator assigns a user ID and user roles to each user of the Hardware Management Console. • OPERATOR OPERATOR • ADVANCED ADVANCED OPERATOR • ACSADMIN ACCESS ADMINISTRTOR • SYSPROG SYSTEM PROGRAMMER • SERVICE SRVICE REPRESENTATIVE Failure to establish this environment may lead to uncontrolled access to system resources. |
