Storage Manager User Management

Use the Data Collector to add new users and manage existing users. To change preferences for your user account, use the Storage

Manager Client.

Storage Manager User Privileges

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. The following tables dene Storage Manager user level privileges with the following

categories.

NOTE: Storage Manager user privileges and Storage Center user privileges share the same names but they are not the same.

Storage Center user privileges control access to Storage Centers, and Storage Manager users control access to Storage

Manager functionality.

Reporter Privileges

The Reporter privilege level is the most limited type of user in Storage Manager.

A Reporter user can view most features of Storage Manager. However, a Reporter user is not able to manage, create, or edit any feature. In

addition, a Reporter user cannot view FluidFS clusters, SupportAssist properties, Data Collector properties, or Storage Proles.

NOTE

: A Storage Manager Reporter user can map Storage Centers to other Reporter users if they have Storage Manager

Reporter credentials.

Volume Manager Privileges

The Volume Manager privilege level is similar to the Administrator level, but has more restrictions.

A Volume Manager user is able to view, manage, and add/create most objects in Storage Manager. However, a Volume Manager user does

not have access to Data Collector properties.

Administrator Privileges

The Administrator privilege level is the most powerful user prole in Storage Manager.

An Administrator user has full access to all of the Storage Manager features.
