Logging On and Off of Storage Mirroring
To ensure protection of your data, Storage Mirroring offers multi-level security using native operating system security
features. Privileges are granted through membership in user groups defined on each machine running Storage Mirroring. To
gain access to a particular Storage Mirroring source or target, the user must provide a valid operating system user name and
password and the specified user name must be a member of one of the Storage Mirroring security groups. Once a valid user
name and password has been provided and the Storage Mirroring source or target has verified membership in one of the
Storage Mirroring security groups, the user is granted appropriate access to the source or target and the corresponding
features are enabled in the client. Access to Storage Mirroring is granted on one of the following three levels:
‹ Administrator Access —All Storage Mirroring features are available for that machine. For example, this access level
includes creating replication sets and establishing Storage Mirroring connections.
‹ Monitor Access —Statistics can be viewed on that machine, but Storage Mirroring features are not available. For example,
this access level does not allow the user to create or modify replication sets or create or modify Storage Mirroring
connections, but does allow you to view the connection statistics for any established Storage Mirroring connections on
that machine.
‹ No Access —The machine appears in the Storage Mirroring Management Console and can be pinged from the Storage
Mirroring Text Client, but no other access is available.
