Virtual TapeServer 6.04.01 Operations and Administration Guide

Configuring Access Control

If you have system administrator privileges, you can configure access control to grant or limit

access to specific VTS functions. Each login ID belongs to a group and each group has a

unique set of privileges.

Note VTS provides a user that has administrator privileges. You can log in as admin if no

other administrative user is created on the system. The default password for this user

is virtual.

By default, VTS is an open system, which means that all users can access all functions. Access

control enables you to establish rights for specific users or classes of users. You can fine tune

control of VTS system resources on a group-by-group basis. A closed system requires

authentication to access resources assigned to a particular group. You can enable or disable

individual rights to resources.

This chapter describes how to configure VTS as a closed system, how to configure users, and

how to configure groups.
