Managing P9000 Performance Advisor user profiles
After P9000 Performance Advisor is installed with the authentication type selected as Native, login
as an Administrator, create user accounts, and grant them privileges (administrator or user privileges).
You can also login as a storageadmin, who is an administrator user of CV XP and has the same
privileges as the administrator user of P9000 Performance Advisor.
The Security screen appears when you click Security under Settings in the left pane. The Security
screen displays users who are authorized to use P9000 Performance Advisor and their groups.
IMPORTANT:
If you see the link to Security enabled in the list under Settings in the left pane, it implies that the
P9000 Performance Advisor Native authentication is selected as the user authentication method during
the P9000 Performance Advisor installation. This link is disabled for users who log on to P9000
Performance Advisor using their system or domain login credentials.
