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
Allowed Access
Administrator Read and write access to the entire Storage Center (no
restrictions). All Administrators have the same predened
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 group(s).
User Groups
User groups grant access to volume, server, and disk folders.
• Users with the Administrator privilege have access to all folders and cannot be added to user groups.
• Users with the Volume Manager or Reporter privilege must be associated with one or more user groups, and can access only the
volume, server, and disk folders made available to them.
