Table 5. Storage Center User Privilege Levels
Privilege Level Allowed Access
Administrator Read and write access to the entire Storage Center (no restrictions). All Administrators have the same
predefined privileges. Only Administrators can manage users and user groups.
Volume Manager Read and write access to the folders associated with the assigned user groups. Users with this privilege
level can create volumes in the allowed volume folders and map them to existing servers in the allowed
server folders.
Reporter Read-only access to the folders associated with the assigned user groups.
Adding and Removing Storage Centers
You must be connected to a Data Collector to add or remove Storage Centers.
NOTE: For user interface reference information, click Help.
Add a Storage Center
Add a Storage Center to Storage Manager to manage and monitor the Storage Center from the Storage Manager Client.
Prerequisites
● You must have the username and password for a Storage Center user account.
○ The first time a Storage Center is added to Storage Manager, you must specify a Storage Center user account that has
the Administrator privilege. When the Storage Center is then added for other Storage Manager users, you can specify
Storage Center user accounts of any privilege level.
○ If your Storage Manager user account has the Reporter privilege, you must specify a Storage Center user account that
has the Reporter privilege.
NOTE:
Storage Manager users with Reporter level privileges have limited access to Storage Manager. To grant a
Reporter Storage Manager user more privileges, add Storage Center mappings to that user in the Storage Manager
Data Collector. Only Administrator level Storage Manager users can set mapping for users.
● The Storage Manager Data Collector must have connectivity to the Storage Center management interface.
● The Storage Center certificate must contain the hostname or management IP address that is used to add the Storage
Center to Storage Manager.
