You need to have administrator privileges to access group manager pages. If a non-administrator user logs onto the iDRAC, the group manager section does not appear with their credentials. The group manager home page (summary view) is broadly categorized as three sections. The first section shows rollup summary with aggregated summary details.

Total number of servers in the local group.
Chart showing number of servers per server model.
Doughnut chart showing the servers per their health status (clicking on a chart section filters the server list to show only the servers with selected health).
Warning box if there is a duplicate group detected in the local network. Duplicate group is typically the group with the same name but with a different passcode. This warning box does not appear if there is no duplicate group.
Displays the iDRACs, that are controlling the group (Primary and Secondary controller).

The second section provides buttons for actions that are taken on the group as whole and the third section displays the list of all iDRACs in the group.

It shows all the systems in the group and their current health status and allows the user to take corrective action as needed. Server attributes specific to a server is described in the below table.
