About User Privileges
The Management application provides the User Administrator with a high level of control over what
functions individual users can see and use. This section describes the effect that each user
privilege has on the application when placed in one of the three available configurations: no
privilege, read-only, and read/write.
User privilege is the Management application’s method of providing role-based access control
(RBAC) to the software’s user administrator.
In the Management application resource groups are assigned privileges, roles, and fabrics.
Privileges are not directly assigned to users; users get privileges because they belong to a role in a
resource group. A user can only belong to one resource group at a time.
The following table defines all the privileges in the Management application and the behavior of the
application if the privilege is not given, read only, or read/write.
