HP XP Array Manager Software - Manual (Page 98)

For a HP StorageWorks P9500 Disk Array storage system, if different roles are set as follows, the
highest-level role among those is applied to all of the resource groups in that storage system:
• When different roles are assigned to multiple resource groups assigned to one user group in the
same storage system.
• When one user belongs to multiple user groups to which different roles are assigned to multiple
resource groups in the same storage system.
Ranked from highest to lowest, these roles are:
• Admin,
• Modify
• View
If the storage system is not a HP StorageWorks P9500 Disk Array, the above scenario does not
apply.For example, in the figure below, User A and User B can access each resource group (RG)
with the following roles, respectively. Notice that User A has the Admin role with respect to RG1,
RG2, and RG3, but the View role with respect to RG4. Also notice that User B, on the other hand,
has the Modify role with respect to RG3, but the View role with respect to RG4.
Some special cases apply:
• If a user has the Modify or higher roles for parity groups or the LDEV ID of a THP pool volume,
and an unused LDEV ID is assigned to the user, the user can create a volume.
• If a user has the Modify or higher roles for ports, and an unused Host Group ID is assigned to the
user, the user can allocate new volumes by using that Host Group ID.
• If the LDEV ID of a THP volume is assigned to a user, the user can view the THP pool to which the
THP volume belongs and the THP pool volumes that compose the THP pool. If the LDEV ID of a
THP pool volume is assigned to a user, the user can view the pool to which the THP pool volume
belongs.
• If a parity group is assigned to a user, the 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 a user, the user cannot view that parity group.
