respectively. User A has the Admin role with respect to RG1, RG2, and RG3, but has the View role
with respect to RG4. User B, on the other hand, has the Modify role with respect to RG3, but has 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/Smart pool
volume, and an unused LDEV ID is assigned to this user, they can create a volume.
• If a user has the 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.

Creating user groups
You can create user groups and assign resource groups either immediately, or later as needed. The
assigned resource group rights provide user group members with view, modify, or admin roles for
displaying, modifying, or managing the storage resources for this group.
Creating a user group also creates a private logical group for that user group.
1. On the Administration tab, select User Groups.
Existing user groups are displayed.
2. Click Create User Group and enter a name and description.
