IMO I would not even mention the admintool or SAM to users. It has way to much information in it for normal users.

Admintool usually isn't set up so that joe user can run it. Normal users are not part of the groups that can run admintool and make changes (not even to their own accounts). Changing that would probably make your system prone to breakins.

I'm pretty sure SAM works the same way.

You can always build your own GUI or web page for users.

NAME
smh - HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH). SYNOPSIS
[ | | | ] DESCRIPTION
The command launches HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) for performing system administration on an HP-UX system. HP SMH is an enhanced version of HP System Administration Manager (HP SAM). HP SMH provides web-based graphical user interface (GUI), terminal user interface (TUI), and command line interface (CLI). You can access these interfaces using the smh command. However, you can also use the sam(1M) com- mand. The sam(1M) command behaves the same as the smh(1M) command except that the deprecation message is displayed in the beginning. For more information on HP SAM, refer sam(1M) manpage. When you run either the command or the command and if the environment variable is set, HP SMH opens in the default web browser. If the environment variable is not set, HP SMH opens in the terminal user interface (TUI). Options recognizes the following options. Launches HP SMH on a web browser without security warnings. Launches HP SMH on a web browser with security warnings. The -r option applies only to the TUI of HP SMH. This option invokes Restricted SMH which, enables the system administrator to assign limited privileged user access to SMH functionality. You must be a privileged user to use this option. See the section below for more information. The -p option applies only to the CLI of HP SMH. This option invokes the /opt/propplus/bin/cprop command which, provides a command- line interface to most of the information available from the HP SMH property pages. The -p option can be used with different com- mands to view information about hardware and software, operating system, network and other system devices. See the cprop(1) manpage for more information on the command and the option parameters. Restricted SMH SMH can be configured to provide a subset of its functionality to certain users or groups of users. This is done through Restricted SMH. System administrators access Restricted SMH by invoking SMH with the option (see "Options" above). In Restricted SMH, system administra- tors may assign subsets of SMH functionality on a per-user or per-group basis. Generally, SMH requires privileged user rights to execute successfully. However, through the use of Restricted SMH, SMH can be configured to allow subsets of its capabilities to be used by non-privileged users. When Restricted SMH is used, non-privileged users are promoted to privileged users when necessary to enable them to execute successfully. By default, Restricted SMH executes all applications as privileged user. However, certain applications like software distributor have their own security mechanism and do not follow the Restricted SMH security model. In such cases, the application launched through Restricted SMH will be executed with the login id of the user who invokes it. A non-privileged user that has been given Restricted SMH privileges simply executes and sees only those areas the user is privileged to access. All the SMH functional areas require the user to be promoted to be a privileged user in order to execute successfully. SMH does this auto- matically as needed. SMH provides a default set of SMH functional areas that the system administrator can assign to other users. Restricted SMH does not apply to web-based GUI of HP SMH from HP-UX 11i v3 release as HP SMH has its own roles.
