Management functions
Lenovo XClarity One leverages management hubs to perform management functions on managed devices. You can control whether to allow XClarity One and XClarity Management Hub 2.0 to perform management function on your devices. If all management functions are disabled, XClarity One only monitors your devices and is not permitted to make changes to your devices.
You can enable and disable these functions on a specific management hub by clicking Functions from the context menu on the Security view from the XClarity Management Hub 2.0 web interface.
When you disable a function from the XClarity One portal, the function is disabled on the portal and on all management hubs in the organization. For more information, see Power operations.
When you enable a function from the XClarity One portal, the function is enabled only in the portal. Be aware that the XClarity One portal settings might not match the setting on the management hubs. It is your responsibly to enable the function on each management hub that has managed devices that you want to access remotely.
