about_Appliance_Connection_Permissions SHORT DESCRIPTION Explains how HPE OneView 4.00 and newer session permissions can be changed. LONG DESCRIPTION Permissions are used to control a user's access to the appliance and the resources managed by the appliance. Permissions consist of a role and an optional scope. The permission role grants the user access to resource categories. For example, the "Server administrator" role grants read, create, delete, update and use rights to the "server hardware" category. Specifying a permission scope further restricts the rights granted by the role to a subset of instances within a resource category. For example, a scope called "Test" can be created by the Infrastructure Administrator or Scope Administrator, and be used to restrict the server hardware rights granted by the "Server administrator" role to only the servers in the Test scope. A user or group may be assigned multiple permissions. Use the Set-OVUser or Set-OVLdapGroupRole to manage the roles and permissions assigned to a user or group. You create a login session when you log in to the appliance using Connect-OVMgmt. Upon successful login, the session grants the user all permissions assigned by the Infrastructure Administrator or Scope Administrator. These permissions are called [HPEOneView.Appliance.ConnectionPermission]. Each permission provided by the appliance are stored within the [HPEOneView.Appliance.Connection] AcivePermissions property. The Active property indicates if the permission is active. A user granted multiple permissions can disable certain permissions. When operating with reduced permissions, the user is only allowed to perform actions authorized for the selected permission. Allowing a user to operate in a least privilege mode is a security best practice. It allows the user to reduce the risk of making an unintended change. CHANGING ACTIVE PERMISSIONS Upon successful login, the caller can change their active permissions, and operate in a less priviledge mode at anytime. The Push-OVAppliancePermission Cmdlet will accept a single or collection of [HPEOneView.Appliance.ConnectionPermission] objects. A new SessionID token will be stored within the ApplianceConnection, and the ConnectionPermissions within the ActivePermissions property that were not provided will have the Active property set to "false". For example, to change the active permissions to the assigned "Network administrator" role: PS C:\> # Show current SessionID PS C:\> $ConnectedSessions[0].SessionID MzA3MzkzNDY4Mjc3tG-DBtvzHwq51sBGY1zk-7Uw1eT17BbJ PS C:\> Connect-OVMgmt hpov1.domain.com administrator MyPassw0rd PS C:\> $ConnectedSessions[0].ActivePermissions RoleName ScopeName Active -------- --------- ------ Network administrator Site A Admins True Server administrator AllResources True PS C:\> $NewPermissions = $ConnectedSessions[0].ActivePermissions | ? RoleName -match 'Network' PS C:\> Push-OVAppliancePermission -SetActivePermissions $NewPermissions RoleName ScopeName Active -------- --------- ------ Network administrator Site A Admins True Server administrator AllResources False PS C:\> # Show updated SessionID PS C:\> $ConnectedSessions[0].SessionID OTA0Mjg2Nzc5Nzk1FVcdSabKJ5wqD-ScZKYOHsJk8WqWDRYX ... For example, to change the active permissions to the assigned "Site A Admins" scope: PS C:\> # Show current SessionID PS C:\> $ConnectedSessions[0].SessionID NzI2MTMxNzEzMjQztb0Rj0hqWwiLa3qFWgKvo13Qn5vs4k1r PS C:\> $ConnectedSessions[0].ActivePermissions RoleName ScopeName Active -------- --------- ------ Network administrator Site A Admins True Server administrator AllResources True Server administrator AllResources True PS C:\> $NewPermissions = $ConnectedSessions[0].ActivePermissions | ? ScopeName -match 'Site A Admins' PS C:\> Push-OVAppliancePermission -SetActivePermissions $NewPermissions RoleName ScopeName Active -------- --------- ------ Network administrator Site A Admins True Server administrator AllResources False Server administrator AllResources False PS C:\> # Show updated SessionID PS C:\> $ConnectedSessions[0].SessionID ATh0MjQ5MjM1ODE0fFqfxUPWWGo4Y-QsPWRpZDsYxmy8Xejb ... If the caller would like to reset their active permissions back to the original state, use the Pop-OVAppliancePermission Cmdlet.
