Some special cases apply:

If a user has the Storage Administrator (Provisioning), Modify, or higher roles for parity groups or
the LDEV ID of a THP/Smart pool volume, and an unused LDEV ID is assigned to this user, they
can create a volume.

If a user has the Storage Administrator (Provisioning), Modify, or higher roles for ports, and an
unused Host Group ID is assigned to this user, they can allocate new volumes by using that Host
Group ID.

If the LDEV ID of a THP/Smart volume is assigned to a user, this user can view the THP/Smart
pool to which the THP/Smart volume belongs and the THP/Smart pool volumes that compose the
THP/Smart pool. If the LDEV ID of a THP/Smart pool volume is assigned to this user, they can
view the pool to which the THP/Smart pool volume belongs.

If a parity group is assigned to a user, this user can view all volumes that belong to the parity
group from a list of volumes that appears when displaying the parity group information. If a parity
group is not assigned to a user and only the LDEV IDs of the volumes belonging to the parity group
are assigned to this user, they cannot view that parity group.

NOTE:

The roles above determine the operation permissions of Device Manager and the Tiered Storage
Manager GUI. For users of the Tiered Storage Manager CLI, operation permissions are granted by
setting permissions for each user. For details about the permissions required to execute each command,
see the

HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Tiered Storage Manager CLI Reference Guide.
