Storage Essentials 5.1 User Guide 161
• Domain administrators can change the user names and roles of other domain administrators,
but they cannot modify their own user name and roles while logged into the management
server. Domain administrators can also edit their full name, e-mail, phone, and other details, as
well assign and un-assign any organization.
• After you click the OK button in the Edit Role window, any users assigned to the role you edited
are logged out of the management server. Users see the changes when they log back into the
management server.
• The Role Name field does not accept special characters, except spaces and the following
characters: $, -, ^, ., and _
To edit a role:
1. Access Storage Essentials through one of the menu options, such as Options > Storage
Essentials > Email Settings.
2. In the upper-right corner, select Security > Roles.
3. Click the Edit button ( ).
4. To edit the name of the role, change the name In the Role Name field.
The name can contain spaces, but it cannot be longer than 256 characters.
5. To edit the description of the role, change the description in the Description field.
You cannot type more than 1024 characters in the Description field.
6. To change the access level, change the options selected in the table.
• Full Control - Lets you view and modify the record for the element (Asset Management tab)
and perform provisioning.
• Element Control - Lets you view and modify the record for the element (Asset Management
tab).
• View - Lets you view element properties.
For example, if a user belongs to a role that only lets you view the element properties on storage
systems, that user would not be allowed to perform provisioning on storage systems because
their role does not have the Full Control option selected for storage systems. That same role
could also have the Full Control option selected for switches, allowing the user to perform
provisioning for switches. Thus, the user would not be able to provision storage systems, but the
user would be able to provision switches.
7. Select the features you want a user to be able to access. For example, if you want a user to have
access to System Manager, select System Manager from the list.
See ”Management Server Components” on page 5 for more information about these features.
8. Click OK.
