Managing Storage Center Users and Groups
Storage Center users have access to folders, volumes, views, and commands depending on their privilege level and the user groups
to which they belong. User accounts can be created locally and/or exist externally in a directory service.
User Privilege Levels
Each user is assigned a single privilege level. Storage Center has three levels of user privilege.
Privilege Level

privileges. Only Administrators can manage users and user
groups.

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.
