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 specified for the administrator.
When creating an administrator, you specify an administrator permission level. The permission level defines the set of actions that are
allowed by the administrator. Permission levels are predefined 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 configuration
• Quotas
• The volume administrator can view, but not change, the rest of the FluidFS cluster configuration.
• NAS volume clones
• Replication
