HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Manager user guide (AG781-96017, March 2009)

Reassigning users’ quotas
If you are going to delete a user and the user created virtual disks, you can reassign the quota from
which the user created virtual disks to another user. The user to which you reassign the virtual disks
receives permission to manage these virtual disks as if that user had created them. The user to which
you reassign the quota must have at least as much unused quota as the original user has used quota.
The reassigned quota is subtracted from the user’s total quota.
If a user is deleted and the user’s quota was not assigned to a new user, permissions to manage the
virtual disks are transferred to the system user. Any groups and tasks running on these virtual disks
by VSM services such as mirror or snapclone can then resume their operations without disruption. An
administrator can manage the virtual disks or assign them, at a later time, to another user.
To reassign a user’s quota to another user:
1. Right-click the user whose quota you want to reassign.
2. Select Reassign Quota. The Reassign Quota wizard opens.
3. In the upper area of the screen, select the user to which you want to reassign the quota.
4. Click Add. The user you selected is added to the lower area of the screen. If you want to change
your selection, click Remove, select another user, and click Add.
5. Click Next. A confirmation screen appears.
6. Click OK. The user’s used quota is reassigned to the user you specified.
Managing user groups
The VSM client enables you to create and configure user groups. The VSM client provides the following
default user groups:

Users in this group can manage users and user groups.
This includes creating, deleting, or modifying, including
removing users from user groups and changing user

Users in this group can view and clear event logs, and

The default permissions are the permissions with which the default user groups are automatically
added to newly created permission templates. For information about permission templates, see
