Quick Answer
The answer is Server Administrator, along with Network Administrator and Administrator, as the three valid UCS Manager RBAC roles. This is correct because UCS Manager defines built-in roles with granular privileges; the Server Administrator role specifically grants permissions to manage server-related configurations like service profiles, BIOS policies, and firmware updates, while the Network Administrator role handles network constructs such as VLANs, VSANs, and QoS policies. On the Cisco DCCOR / CCNP Data Center Core 350-601 exam, this topic tests your understanding of role-based access control within a UCS domain, often appearing in multiple-choice questions that list plausible but invalid roles like “Storage Administrator” or “Security Administrator” as traps. A common memory tip is to remember that UCS Manager has only three built-in roles: Administrator (full access), Network Administrator (network policies), and Server Administrator (server policies)—think “ANS” for Admin, Network, Server.
This 350-601 practice question tests your understanding of compute. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which THREE of the following are valid UCS Manager RBAC roles?
Storage Administrator
Why wrong: Not a built-in role; storage is managed within other roles
Network Administrator
Manages network-related configurations
UCS Administrator
Full administrative access
Operations Administrator
Why wrong: Not a standard role in UCS Manager
Server Administrator
Manages server profiles and policies
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Network Administrator
Option B (Network Administrator) is correct because UCS Manager defines RBAC roles with specific privileges. The Network Administrator role is a built-in role that grants permissions to manage network-related configurations such as VLANs, VSANs, and QoS policies within the UCS domain.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Cisco often tests the distinction between default built-in roles and custom roles, and the trap here is that 'Storage Administrator' sounds plausible but is not a default role, while 'Operations Administrator' is a default role but is not one of the three correct answers in this specific question.
Detailed technical explanation
UCS Manager RBAC roles are defined in the 'aaaRole' managed object and include privileges such as 'admin', 'network', 'server', 'operations', and 'read-only'. The 'Network Administrator' role specifically includes privileges for 'fabric-lan', 'fabric-san', and 'qos-policy', while 'Server Administrator' covers 'compute', 'server-mgmt', and 'storage' privileges. Understanding the exact privilege mapping helps in troubleshooting permission issues, such as when a Network Administrator cannot modify server profiles.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A help-desk technician troubleshoots why a newly connected PC cannot reach shared printers on the same floor. The cable is good, the switch port is active, but the PC is in VLAN 20 and the printers are in VLAN 10. The uplink trunk only allows VLAN 10. A trunk being up does not mean every VLAN crosses it.
