Managing Administrator Accounts
You can create both local FluidFS administrators and make remote users (AD/LDAP/NIS) FluidFS administrators. System alerts will
be sent to the email address specied for the administrator.
When creating an administrator, you specify an administrator permission level. The permission level denes the set of actions that are
allowed by the administrator. Permission levels are predened in the system as follows:
• NAS Cluster Administrator – The administrator can manage any aspect of the FluidFS cluster.
• NAS Volume Administrator – The following table summarizes which settings a volume administrator can change for the NAS
volumes to which they are assigned. They can also view, but not change, the rest of the FluidFS cluster conguration.
