HP XP Racks - Manual (Page 115)

Ranked from highest to lowest, these roles are:
• Admin
• Modify
• View
If the storage system is not a 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/Smart 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/Smart volume is assigned to a user, the 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 a user, the user can view
the pool to which the THP/Smart 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.
Creating user groups
You can create your own user groups to affiliate with resource groups.
1. On the Administration tab, select User Groups.
2. Click Create User Group.
3. Specify the users that can be managed by the group. The created user group now appears.
Editing a user group
As user information and membership in user groups change, you can update this information.
