Next Steps
This section describes some basic tasks that you may want to perform after your rst log on to Storage Manager. These tasks are
conguration dependent and not all tasks will be required at all sites.
Add Storage Manager Users
The Data Collector controls user access to Storage Manager functions and associated Storage Centers based on the privileges
assigned to users: Reporter, Volume Manager, or Administrator. New users, as well as the associated
Storage Centers, are created
and managed only by the Data Collector Manager. If you want to allow other members of your organization to use Storage Manager,
use the Data Collector Manager to grant them access. You can grant access using either of the following methods:
• Create local Storage Manager users.
• Congure the Data Collector to authenticate users using an external Active Directory or OpenLDAP directory service, and then
grant access to specic directory users and/or user groups.
