Prerequisites for creating user groups

Based on their assigned roles, users that have been assigned to groups are granted operation
permissions for Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager (GUI).

A user group is a set of users who use the same resources and have the same operation(s) permission
(see “role”) for the resources. Externally authenticated groups can be used as user groups.

Users are granted permissions based on permissions set for roles assigned to the user group they
belong to. A user can be registered to multiple user groups. A resource group can be registered to
multiple user groups. The system account does not belong to any user group.

The user roles that can be assigned to each resource group for user groups are:

Admin

Modify

View

A user who belonging to a built-in user group cannot be registered to another user group.

The default user groups assigned to the All Resources group are:

AdminGroup (role:Admin and the permission for creating resource groups)

ModifyGroup (role:Modify)

ViewGroup (role:View)

PeerGroup (role:Peer This user group cannot be assigned to a resource group)

Two special case user group assignments exist. The built-in account (user ID: HaUser) used by Device
Manager agents is set to the PeerGroup immediately after the installation is completed, but can be
set to another group later. To assign the Peer role to a user, register the user in PeerGroup.

Authorized groups that have been registered to P9000 Command View AE Suite products can be
used as user groups. Roles assigned to authorized groups are also applied to users who belong to
nested groups.
