Add User

Use this option to add new local iLO user accounts, with the following privileges and information.

iLO 5 user privileges

  • Administer User Accounts—Enables a user to add, edit, and delete local iLO user accounts. A user with this privilege can change privileges for all users.

    If you do not have this privilege, you can view your own settings and change your own password.

  • Remote Console Access—Enables a user to remotely access the host system Remote Console, including video, keyboard, and mouse control.
  • Virtual Power and Reset—Enables a user to power-cycle or reset the host system.

    These activities interrupt the system availability. A user with this privilege can diagnose the system by using the Generate NMI to System button.

  • Virtual Media—Enables a user to use the Virtual Media feature on the host system.
  • Configure Settings—Enables a user to configure most iLO settings, including security settings, and to remotely update the iLO firmware.

    This privilege does not enable local user account administration. After iLO is configured, revoking this privilege from all users prevents reconfiguration using the web interface, HPQLOCFG, or the CLI. Users who have access to iLO RBSU, the iLO 5 Configuration Utility, or HPONCFG can still reconfigure iLO. Only a user who has the Administer User Accounts privilege can enable or disable this privilege.

  • Host BIOS—Enables a user to configure the host BIOS settings by using the UEFI System Utilities.

  • Host NIC—Enables a user to configure the host NIC settings.

  • Host Storage—Enables a user to configure the host storage settings.

  • Recovery Set—Enables a user to manage the recovery install set.
    NOTE:

    By default, the Recovery Set privilege is assigned to the default Administrator account. To assign this privilege to another account, log into the iLO web interface with an account that already has this privilege. This privilege is not available if you start a session when the system maintenance switch is set to disable iLO security.

New User Information

The maximum length for a user name is 39 characters. The user name must use printable characters. Assigning descriptive user names can help you to easily identify the owner of each login name.
  • Login Name—Specifies the name that must be used when logging in to iLO. It appears in the user list on the User Administration page, on the iLO Overview page, and in iLO logs. The Login Name does not have to be the same as the User Name. The maximum length for a login name is 39 characters. The login name must use printable characters.
  • Password and Password Confirm—Sets and confirms the password that is used for logging in to iLO. The maximum length for a password is 39 characters. Enter the password twice for verification.
