Access Control
Access control is a way of granting access to the system functions or components

appropriate privileges. Access control depends on the proper configuration of the
general security services provided by the SPARC Enterprise Mx000 server.

components only through authorized user interfaces. Users and agents cannot access
any of the underlying operating system interfaces, and users cannot install
individual software components on the Service Processor.
