Hi Eric,

You can use ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet to find out the required cmdlets.

1. You can set the Global Power Allocation Policy using following cmdlets.

PS C:> Get-UcsPowerMgmtPolicy | set-UcspowerMgmtPolicy -Style manual-per-blade -force

Descr:
Name: default
PolicyLevel : 0
PolicyOwner : local
Style: manual-per-blade
Dn: org-root/pwr-mgmt-policy
Rn: pwr-mgmt-policy
Status: modified
XtraProperty : {}
Ucs: ucs-01

2. To add the role with custom privileges you may run following cmdlet:

PS C:> Add-UcsRole -Name “Helpdesk” -Priv aaa,read-only

ConfigState : ok
ConfigStatusMessage :
Descr :
Name : Helpdesk
PolicyLevel : 0
PolicyOwner : local
Priv : {aaa, read-only}
Dn : sys/user-ext/role-Helpdesk
Rn : role-Helpdesk
Status : created
XtraProperty : {}
Ucs : ucs-01

Regards
