Setup And Administration
Server Administrator provides security through role- based access control (RBAC), authentication, and
encryption for both the Web-based and command line interfaces.
Role-Based Access Control
RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed by persons in particular
roles. Each user is assigned one or more roles, and each role is assigned one or more privileges that are
permitted to users in that role. With RBAC, security administration corresponds closely to an
organization's structure.
User Privileges
Server Administrator grants different access rights based on the user's assigned group privileges. The four
user privilege levels are: User, Power User, Administrator, and Elevated Administrator.
