Configuring Filters to Restrict Administrative Access
Access filters can be created to selectively allow administrative access to a Storage Center based on IP address, user privilege level, or
user name. When one or more access filters are defined, administrative connections that do not match an access filter are denied.
• Storage Manager does not allow you to create an access filter policy that would reject your current administrative connection.
• Access filters apply to new administrative connections only; existing administrative connections are not affected.
NOTE: For user interface reference information, click Help.
