An HP SIM user must have a valid operating system login on the CMS. 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 or users that are not members of the Windows Administrators group) to run tools as root/administrator or as another specified user. Be careful when granting users permission to run tools as root or administrator. Consider all the capabilities given by a tool, above and beyond the capabilities it is designed for, before you associate it with a toolbox. |

User privileges |
|
Administrative rights user
Administrative rights users have been given special privileges to administer the HP SIM software. Full rights users manage the following components:
In addition, full rights users maintain and back up the database and monitor the HP SIM audit log.
By default, root on a Linux CMS is assigned the administrative rights user privilege, but this permission can later be revoked. This user is automatically authorized for the All Tools toolbox on all systems, including the CMS. The administrative rights user privilege can be given to one or more users, and HP SIM requires that at least one user is a administrative rights user.
Operator rights user
Operator rights users have limited capability to configure the CMS. They have permission to create, modify, and delete all reports and their own tools.
User rights user
User rights users cannot configure the CMS. Their ability to manage systems is based on their authorizations.
