A role on the PXE device determines the system and outlet permissions. You must create the roles whose names are identical to the user groups created for the PXE on the AD server or authorization will fail. Therefore, we will create the roles named PX_User and PX_Admin on the PDU.
In this illustration, we assume:
Users assigned to the PX_User role can neither configure PXE nor access the outlets.
Users assigned to the PX_Admin role have the Administrator permissions so they can both configure PXE and access the outlets.
To create the PX_User role with appropriate permissions assigned:
Choose User Management > Roles. The Manage Roles dialog appears.
Tip: You can also access the Manage Roles dialog by clicking the Manage Roles button in the Edit User 'XXX' dialog.
Click New. The Create New Role dialog appears.
Type PX_User in the Role Name field.
Type a description for the PX_User role in the Description field. In this example, we type "The role can only view PX settings" to describe the role.
Click the Privileges tab to select all View XXX permissions (where XXX is the name of the setting). A View XXX permission lets users view the XXX settings without the capability to configure or change them.
Click Add. The "Add Privileges to new Role" dialog appears.
Select a permission beginning with the word "View" from the Privileges list, such as View Event Settings.
Click Add.
Repeat Steps a to c to add all permissions beginning with "View."
Click OK. The PX_User role is created.
Keep the Manage Roles dialog opened to create the PX_Admin role.
To create the PX_Admin role with full permissions assigned:
Click New. The Create New Role dialog appears.
Type PX_Admin in the Role Name field.
Type a description for the PX_Admin role in the Description field. In this example, we type "The role includes all privileges" to describe the role.
Click the Privileges tab to select the Administrator permission. The Administrator permission allows users to configure or change all PXE settings.
Click Add. The "Add Privileges to new Role" dialog appears.
Select the permission named Administrator Privileges from the Privileges list.
