OpenManage Enterprise user role types

NOTE:

  • AD and LDAP directory users can be imported and assigned one of the OpenManage Enterprise roles (Admin, DeviceManager, or Viewer).
  • Actions run on the devices require a privileged account on the device.

Table 1. OpenManage Enterprise User role typesThis table lists the OpenManage Enterprise user role types and privileges granted to them.
User with this role... Has the following user privileges
Administrator

  • Full access (by using GUI and REST) to read, view, create, edit, delete, export, and remove information related to devices and groups monitored by OpenManage Enterprise.

  • Run tasks, policies, and other actions on the devices assigned by the administrator.
