Managing users

QoreStor gives you the ability to define user roles and assign users to those roles, depending on the authentication type of the user. A local user can have more than one role. There are default user roles for the system as well.

QoreStor has the following types of local user roles: CIFS, OST, RDA, Secure Connect, Object, and Monitor. For the protocol specific user roles, the user is validated with the protocol credentials when the clients connect.

SAML users can have Administrator or Monitor roles. For more information about SAML authentication, see Configuring SAML.

Refer to these important notes about user management in QoreStor.

  • Excluding the admin, users can have multiple roles.
  • However, OST users are exclusive user roles that can only be assigned to one user at a time.
  • The admin user is a special default user; it cannot be deleted and no new administrator roles can be created.
  • Monitor user can not have backup protocol roles like RDA.
  • Object role is applicable only to Object containers created before QoreStor 7.2.1 release.
  • The maximum number of users that can be created for the system is 64.

To view the Users page, on the left navigation menu, click Users.
