Use the scadm userperm command to set or change permission levels for a specified user account. This command works like the ALOM shell command userperm.
Note: If there is only one account on ALOM (admin account), that account cannot be deleted, nor can you remove the a or u user permissions from that account.
All users can read ALOM information, but you need authorization to perform ALOM functions or to change settings. There are four permission levels that increase a user's authorization. You can specify zero through four permission levels.
| Permission Level | Description |
| a | Administrative. This user is authorized to change the state of ALOM configuration variables. |
| u | User administration. This user is authorized to add users and delete users, change user permissions, and change the authorization level of other users. |
| c | Console permission. This user is authorized to connect to the host server system console. |
| r | Reset/power permission. This user is authorized to reset the host server, power the server on and off, and reboot ALOM. |
If you do not assign a permission level to the specified user (that is, you assigned zero permission levels), then that user has read-only permission. This is the default level for a new ALOM user account.
Note: The default user permission for the account that you use when you start ALOM for the first time is cuar (full authorization). This account is the admin account, and it cannot be deleted, nor can its permissions be changed.
To see a user's permission levels, use the scadm usershow command.
Log in to the host server as root.
At the superuser prompt, type the following command:
# scadm userperm username perms
where username is the specified user account and perms is the permission level(s) you want to set or change (if any).
For example, to assign c and r user permissions to user msmith, you would type the following command:
# scadm userperm msmith cr
