2.4.6 BMC Users
The BMC supports the IPMI 2.0 user model including support for User ID 1. 15 user IDs are supported.
These 15 users can be assigned to any channel. The following restrictions are placed on user-related
operations:
User names for User IDs 1 and 2 cannot be changed. These will always be “” (Null) and “root”
respectively.
User 2 (“root”) will always have the administrator privilege level.
All user passwords (including passwords for 1 and 2) may be modified.
User IDs 3-15 may be used freely, with the condition that user names are unique. Therefore, no
other users can be named as “” (Null), “root,” or any other existing user name.
