The DR Series system gives you the ability to define user roles and assign users to those roles. A user can have more than one role. There are default user roles for the system as well.

The DR Series system has the following types of user roles: CIFS, OST, RDA, NDMP, iSCSI, monitor, email_recipient, and administrator. For the protocol specific user roles, the user is validated with the protocol credentials when the clients connect. Users with the role, email_recipient, will be able to receive email alerts. The monitor user has read only access in the system GUI.

Refer to these important notes about user management in the DR Series system.

•
Excluding the administrator, users can have multiple roles.
•
However, NDMP, OST, and iSCSI users are exclusive user roles that can only be assigned to one user at a time.
•
The administrator user is a special default user; it cannot be deleted and no new administrator roles can be created.
•
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 System Configuration > Users.
