14 User Roles and Rights
To access an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system, you must have a user account. Each HP 3PAR
OS user is assigned a role, and each role is assigned a set of rights. The
assigned
to the user determine the tasks the user is allowed to perform on a system. To maintain greater
control over your system, assign your users a role that has the minimum set of rights that they need
to perform their tasks.
Eight roles are defined in the HP 3PAR OS. There are four standard roles and four extended roles.

Table 2 Extended HP 3PAR OS User Roles
Rights assigned to roles
User roles
Rights are limited to creating objects, such as virtual
volumes, CPGs, hosts, and schedules.
Create
Rights are similar to the Edit role. For example, the Basic
Edit role can create and edit virtual volumes and other
Basic Edit
objects. However, the rights to remove objects are more
restricted for the Basic Edit role than the Edit role.
Rights are limited to internal use by HP for Adaptive
Optimization operations.
3PAR AO
Rights are limited to internal use by HP for Recovery
Manager operations.
3PAR RM
There is no functional difference between standard and extended roles. The extended roles define
sets of rights that are optimized for users with specialized or restricted tasks. For example, assigning
a user the Create role allows the user to create virtual volumes and other objects, but does not
allow the user to remove virtual volumes.
To view a list of roles and all of the rights assigned to each role, see the HP 3PAR Command Line
Interface Administrator’s Manual. For instructions about performing user-management tasks, see
