CSI driver for PowerMax:. What autorisation to give in unisphere for the username?
The deployment of the CSI driver for PowerMax in OpenShift, via an operator, requires a username/password to be defined in unisphere, for REST calls
Q:
- how to create this user?
- what are the minimal rights that need to be given to that user?
We searched the docs for hours but can't find the answer, the doc and the various videso just say "set the username/passord" in a secret etc. but they dos no say a word about this user...

User must have admin or storage admin rights and created through the UI in Unisphere for PowerMax to be able to create and map devices.

Hi,
While installing Unisphere, you are prompted to specify a Unisphere Initial Setup User. You can either specify the user ID you currently use to access the storage system (if User Authorization is enabled), or you can use the default user ID smc. If you plan on using the default ID, there must be no user IDs listed in the User Authorization database. If there are user IDs in the database (regardless of whether user authorization is enabled), then you must use SYMCLI to add the default user ID (smc) to the database.
For more information about users and roles, see the VMAX3 Family Security Configuration Guide.
The role of the Unisphere Initial Setup User is to install and set up the Unisphere environment (create users and add roles). It is intended to be a temporary role as it allows you only to perform administrative tasks on storage systems that do not have defined user roles (authorization rules). After an Administrator or a SecurityAdmin is
assigned to a storage system, the Unisphere Initial Setup User can no longer access or even see the system from the Unisphere console. Therefore, it is recommended that users do not operate in this role for any longer than necessary.
