Action privileges for user roles

The following table lists the user action privileges associated with each user role.

The Use privilege is a special case that allows you to associate objects to objects that you own but you are not allowed to change. For example, in a logical interconnect group, a user assigned the role of Server administrator is not allowed to define logical interconnect groups, but can use them when adding an enclosure.
