Abstract
Disclosed methods for enabling flexible policies for user access to BIOS attribute settings perform operations including creating a BIOS attribute map encompassing one or more configurable BIOS attributes, generating a role-based authorization table associating an authorization role to each of the configurable BIOS attributes, and deploying the role-based authorization table to an information handling system. Responsive to a user launching a BIOS attribute configuration tool, a user role associated with the user is detected and the role-based authorization table is retrieved. Based on the role-based authorization table and the user role, configurable BIOS attributes for the user are identified. The configurable BIOS attributes may then be presented to the BIOS configuration to enable the user to perform configuration operations for the configurable BIOS attributes.
