Manage Logins

Use this section to Add New User, Change User Password and Delete User from the Group.

Group jobs including Manage Logins are one time configurations of the servers. Group manager uses SCP and jobs to make any changes. Every iDRAC in the group owns an individual job in its job queue for each Group Manager job. Group Manager does not detect changes on member iDRACs or lock member configurations.

NOTE Group jobs does not configure or override the lockdown mode for any specific iDRAC.

Leaving a group does not change local user or change settings on a member iDRAC.
