If volume replication is performed by using Replication Manager with only a Device Manager license,
the Replication Manager information must be updated after the resource group is created.

Prerequisites for creating 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.

For a HP StorageWorks P9500 Disk Array storage system, if different roles are set as follows, the
highest-level role among those is applied to all of the resource groups in that storage system:

When different roles are assigned to multiple resource groups assigned to one user group in the
same storage system.

When one user belongs to multiple user groups to which different roles are assigned to multiple
resource groups in the same storage system.

Ranked from highest to lowest, these roles are:

Admin,

Modify

View

If the storage system is not a HP StorageWorks 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 rolewith 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.
