Create an access control group for power management and assign to users

You can create an access control group that enables a set of users to control a power outlet from inside a terminal session. For each access control group, you can configure a serial port and the associated outlets, and then assign the group to users that are allowed access to the outlets on that port.

Note For information about accessing and using a terminal session, see Control the outlet power from a terminal (all users).
