Managing roles and role groups

A role is used to control user access to resources and limit the actions that users can perform on those resources. A role group is a collection of one or more roles and is used to assign those roles to multiple users. The roles that you configure for a role group determine the level of access that is granted to each user that is a member of that role group. Each Lenovo XClarity Administrator user must be a member of at least one role group.
