Virtualization service management permissions

Required folder permissions

You need access to the SA Library folder containing the HP-UX Virtualization Manager web extension to manage HP-UX VMs and run the web extension. This web extension is located in the SA Library folder /Opsware/Tools/Virtualization Programs. For complete information on folder permissions, refer to the SA 10.50 Administration Guide.

Use the following procedure to assign the required folder permissions to a user:

1. Log in to the SA Client as an administrative user that has permission to set folder permissions.
2. In the SA Client, select the Library tab.
3. Select the By Folder tab to display the SA Library folder structure.

7. Select the user group you want to grant access to. If the user group does not appear, select the Add button to add it.
8. Select Execute Objects Within Folder.
9. Select OK.

Required resource permissions

As with all server management tasks, you need access to the HP-UX servers. Grant access to the facility, customer and at least one device group of your HP-UX managed servers. For complete information on resource permissions, see the SA 10.50 Administration Guide.
