How to grant access to non-root users in SMH GUI??

Log into System Management Homepage web interface with the root account and passwd and add the desired group of you wanted to grand privilege access under:

Settings -> System Management Homepage -> Security -> User Groups

There are three different roles/privileges that a given user group can be configured with: Administrator , Operator and User, each with different action proviledges.

To change it via command line

In order to add a group to the Administrator Group or other group, you need to edit the following file:

/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml

root@delta:> # vi /opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml
"/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml" [Read only] 18 lines, 566 characters
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<system-management-homepage>
<admin-group>smh</admin-group>     <<<<<<< Added the smh group in the Admin Group
<operator-group></operator-group>
<user-group></user-group>
<allow-default-os-admin>True</allow-default-os-admin>
<anonymous-access>False</anonymous-access>
<localaccess-enabled>False</localaccess-enabled>
<localaccess-type>Anonymous</localaccess-type>
<trustmode>TrustByCert</trustmode>
<xenamelist/>
<ip-restricted-logins>False</ip-restricted-logins>
<ip-restricted-include/>
<ip-restricted-exclude/>
<ip-binding>False</ip-binding>
<ip-binding-list/>
</system-management-homepage>

• After adding the group, then just add the secondary group to the user that you want to assign Administrator Privileages to.

# usermod -G smh <anyuser>

• Restart System Management Homepage

# /sbin/init.d/hpsmh stop
# /sbin/init.d/hpsmh start

• You should be able with login and password added to the XML file.
