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 are 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. If you want to allow other members of your organization to use Storage Manager, use the Data Collector 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.
