HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software Licenses - Manual (Page 192)

A user group is a group of users with the same user permissions and range of access. Externally
authenticated groups can also be used as user groups. When you assign resource groups and roles
(collections of user permissions, such as Modify or View) to a user group, resources can be controlled
for the users in that group.
Resource groups can be created in this configuration only when the storage system is HP P9500 .
The following figure shows a typical scenario for user groups and their associated permissions to
access resources.
For HP P9500 systems, physical configurations such as parity groups, and logical configurations such
as LDEV IDs, are used to create resource groups. After resource groups are created, they can then
be assigned to user groups.

Access control examples for HP P9500
The following examples show how resource groups can control access in a HP P9500 storage system.
One method for dividing resources would be by separating resources based on company location.
For example, if you create resource groups based on location, the administrators in each location
are limited to using only the resources that have been assigned to them, and are restricted from
accessing the resources of other locations.
