6-1 Overview of User Management Operations
The Device Manager user management operations include:
•
User account operations (see section
6-2
)
•
User group operations (see section
6-3
)
User account operations. The system administrator (or local system administrator) can edit user accounts. The
storage administrator (or local storage administrator) and guests (or local guests) cannot edit user accounts.
Device Manager maintains the user databases and logs of the operations performed by all users. All users
except for guests (or local guests) can change their properties (first names, last names, and descriptions) and
passwords. Guests (or local guests) can view their properties.
User group operations. The system administrator (or local system administrator) of Device Manager can create
and delete user groups, and view and edit the properties of user groups. By creating a user group, the system
administrator (or local system administrator) can control the users’ access to resources (hosts and logical
devices) managed by Device Manager.
The user group is closely related to the logical group and inherits the logical group hierarchy. For example, if
logical group A has a subgroup B, and user group A is assigned to logical group A and user group B is
assigned to logical group B, user group B is a descendant of user group A. Users in user group A have access
to all resources (hosts and LDEVs) for both user group A and user group B. The local system administrator for
user group A can control users in both user group A and user group B. User group B is a descendant of user
group A.
The User Management object in the Device Manager Web Client navigation frame, shown in
Figure 6-1
,
provides access to the user management operations.
