Warnings for Slow Systems Operations
By default, the management server warns you when it encounters issues with handling large
amounts of data from storage systems, such as long load times.
If you do not want to be warned, clear the Warn about slow storage system operations option
on the User Preferences tab. See ”Modifying Your User Preferences” on page 234 for information
on how to access the User Preferences tab.
Viewing the Properties of a Role
You can quickly determine which components a user can access by viewing the properties of the
user's role.
To view the properties of 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 > Users.
1. Click Security > Users.
2. In the Role column, click the name of the role.
This page displays the following information:
