VxRail: How to change iDRAC user permission using SSH and the RACADM command

1. Log in to the iDRAC UI with the root user (even without administrator permission) and verify the user ID.

• In this example, we change the test user's permission, ID 5.
• If you do not have permission to log in to the iDRAC using the UI, it can be done by logging in directly using SSH from the host.
• If you have access through the UI, the ID is next to the user in the iDRAC Settings Users tab.

• If you do not have access to the UI, you must SSH log in to the host, and run the command to find the user IDs:

/opt/vxrail/tools/ipmitool user list 1

2. After finding the user ID, log in directly on RACADM with the vxpsvc user:

/opt/vxrail/bin/remotecmd -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -oUserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -oPubkeyAuthentication=yes -oPasswordAuthentication=no -i /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -l vxpsvc 169.254.0.1

3. To change the user role to administrator permission, run the command:

set iDRAC.Users 5 privilege 0x000001ff

• In this case, the permission 0x000001ff is an administrator permission, but there are other permissions that are possible. 
  

• If you want to compare the permission between the users, run the command:

get iDRAC.Users 5
