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 volume administrator can change the following settings for the NAS volumes to which they are
assigned:
– NAS volume name
– NAS volume folder to which the NAS volume is assigned
– Access time granularity
– Permissions interoperability
– Report zero disk usage
– Data reduction
– NAS volume space settings and alert thresholds
– SMB shares and NFS exports
– Snapshots and snapshot schedules
– Restore NAS volume from snapshot
– Restore NAS volume conguration
– Quotas
• The volume administrator can view, but not change, the rest of the FluidFS cluster conguration.
