Configuring SGM User-Based Access
SGM enables you to control who is allowed to do what in SGM, beyond simply
specifying root and non-root users. SGM calls this ability User-Based Access.
User-Based Access provides multi-level password-protected access to SGM
features. Each user can have a unique user name and password. Each user can also
be assigned to one of five levels of access, which control the list of SGM features
accessible by that user.
To configure SGM User-Based Access, perform the tasks in the following
sections. Required and optional tasks are indicated.
• Implementing SGM User-Based Access (Solaris Only), page 18-2 (Required)
• Creating Secure Passwords, page 18-5 (Required)
• Configuring SGM User Authentication Levels (Solaris Only), page 18-6
(Required)
• Automatically Disabling Users and Passwords (Solaris Only), page 18-10
