See “
Setting a password policy ” on page 133.
• For user IDs and passwords use only the following characters:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ! # $ % & ' ( ) * + - . = @ \ ^ _ |
User operation permissions
User permissions determine the scope of resources and operations a user can access or perform.
By specifying roles in Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager (GUI), resources that belong to
a resource group for which a user has permission to reference or operate on are displayed. The user
can perform GUI operations or reference information for the displayed resources.
User Management permissions make it possible to log in to all Command View AE Suite products,
and allow for usage of the user management function and security management function for all
Command View AE Suite products. The User Management permissions also allow users to create user
groups for Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager, and output user groups and user information
in CSV format. If the Admin permissions are assigned to All Resources, the User Management
permissions also enable users to assign resources and roles to user groups.
In Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager, operation permissions are granted by assigning
resource groups and roles to a user group. The above method can be used for operation permissions
for the Device Manager GUI, Device Manager CLI, and Tiered Storage Manager GUI. To grant
permissions for Tiered Storage Manager CLI, on the other hand, you must grant permissions to each
user rather than assign roles. The table below describes the types of roles and the operations that can
be performed when those roles are assigned. Note that Tiered Storage Manager operations can be
performed only when the user has a Tiered Storage Manager license.
