Group administration

The iLO 2 firmware enables you to view iLO 2 groups and modify settings for those groups. You
must have the Administer Directory Groups privilege. To view or modify a group:

1.

Click Administration>User Administration>Group Accounts.

2.

Select the group, and click View/Modify Group. The Modify Group page appears.

Click Cancel to return to the Group Administration page.

The following settings are available:

Security Group Distinguished Name is the distinguished name of a group within the directory.
All members of this group are granted the privileges set for the group. The group specified in
the Security Group Distinguished Name must exist within the directory, and users who need
access to iLO 2 must be members of this group. Complete this field with a Distinguished Name
from the directory (for example, CN=Group1,OU=Managed Groups, DC=domain,
DC=extension

).

Administer Group Accounts enables users who belong to this group to alter privileges for any
group.

Remote Console Access enables you to remotely access the host system Remote Console,
including the Remote Serial Console. You must have access to the remote system to use this
capability.

Virtual Power and Reset enables you to power cycle or reset the host platform. These activities
interrupt the availability of the system. If selected, this option also allows you to diagnose the
system using the virtual NMI button.

Virtual Media enables you to use virtual media on the host platform.

Configure iLO 2 Settings enables you to configure most iLO 2 settings, including security
settings. If selected, you can remotely update iLO 2 firmware. This setting does not include
group account administration. These settings rarely change.

After iLO 2 is correctly configured, revoking this privilege from all groups prevents
reconfiguration. Users with the Administer Group Accounts privilege can enable or disable
this privilege. The iLO 2 firmware can also be reconfigured if iLO 2 RBSU is enabled.

To save updated information, click Save Group Information, or to discard changes and return to
the Group Administration page, click Cancel.
