Task Roles

Select this to customize a task role. A task role defines the access level for a user to perform tasks on a managed object or group of objects, such as a managed system or logical partition.

The task roles are:

hmcservicerep
The service representative installs, configures, or repairs your system.
hmcviewer
The viewer views HMC information, but cannot change any configuration information.
hmcoperator
The operator performs daily system operations.
hmcpe
The product engineer assists in support situations, but cannot access HMC user management functions. A user ID must be created and administered with the product engineer role to provide support access for your system.
hmcsuperadmin
The super administrator acts as the root user, or manager, of the HMC system. The super administrator has unrestricted authority to access and modify most of the HMC system.
