User administration commands
Use the user administration commands to manage user accounts, modify user account attributes, and
change passwords. The modifications that you are permitted to make will depend on the user group you
belong to. Three types of user groups are provided:
• Users: Members of this group have read-only access to array management for the arrays assigned to
them. They also have read-only access to the Command View framework
• StorageAdmins: Members of this group have read-write access to array management for the arrays
assigned to them and to snap-in applications. They also have read-only access to the Command View
framework.
• Administrators: Members of this group are administrators of the Command View management station
and can perform all tasks related to Command View and the arrays.
For a detailed description of the roles and responsibilities assigned to each user group, see Table 2 on
page 44.
When a user is created in the Administrators group, a lock on the XP128/XP1024/XP12000 arrays is
required. If another user is holding a lock on the arrays, then an error message is displayed and this
operation needs to be repeated after obtaining the lock.
When users are created in the StorageAdmins or Users group, a lock on the arrays is not required because
no device is assigned to the users by default. The devices can be assigned using the modify
attributes command.
This section describes the following commands:
• create user, page 46
• delete user, page 47
• list users, page 48
• modify attributes, page 49
• modify password, page 50
