Administrative Account

The Administrator account is used for FluidFS cluster management using the FluidFS Manager Client and
CLI. This account cannot be removed or renamed. This account has write permission on all CIFS shares
by default.

Support Account

If Dell Technical Support Services needs to perform remote troubleshooting, you can make your system
accessible to them using the support account.

CAUTION: Dell strongly recommends that you do not attempt to use the support account.
Operations performed as the support user are for advanced remote troubleshooting to resolve
critical system issues only. Misuse of this account can damage the FluidFS cluster and/or its data.

NOTE: If Dell personnel must access the support account for remote troubleshooting, Dell
recommends that you change the password to a new, strong password after the troubleshooting
session is concluded.

Enabling or Disabling the Support Account

Enable the support account if Dell Technical Support Services needs to perform remote troubleshooting.
When troubleshooting is complete, disable the support account.
