Managing Users

QoreStor 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.

QoreStor has the following types of 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.

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.
  • 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.

Managing the default QoreStor user accounts

During the installation process, QoreStor creates two user accounts that simplify permissions and access to QoreStor configurations outside of the UI. Logging in with the qsadmin account provides direct access to the QoreStor command line, while the qsservice account provides direct access to the QoreStor Menu.

If these accounts are not needed, or if security protocols prohibit non-essential accounts, you may remove these accounts using the QoreStor Menu. To manage these accounts, navigate to the Remove QoreStor Account menu found at QoreStor Menu > Administration > Operating System > QoreStor User Management. Refer to Configuring QoreStor with the Configuration Menu for more information.
