Authorizations

After a user is added to HP SIM, he or she can be authorized to use a toolbox on one or more systems in the management domain.

Each toolbox is associated with a set of tools that a user might need for a particular task, such as database administration or software management. Authorizing a user for a toolbox on a system or system group enables the user to run the associated set of tools on that system or systems that are members of the system group.

	IMPORTANT: Authorization for a toolbox can enable users with non-privileged access (for example, non-root users) to run tools as root or as another specified user. Be careful when granting users permission to run tools as root. Consider all the capabilities given by a tool, above and beyond the capabilities it is designed for, before you associate it with a toolbox.
