Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Editing Tenant Units: Tenant Self-Service tab

Tenant Self-Service is a method of letting a Tenant log in to a Data Domain or PowerProtect system to perform some basic services (add, edit, or delete local users, NIS groups, and/or AD groups). This reduces the bottleneck of always having to go through an administrator for these basic tasks. The Tenant can access only their assigned Tenant Units. Note that Tenant Users and Tenant Admins have different privileges.

1. Select Administration > Multitenancy.
2. Select a Tenant Unit in the tree, and select Edit Tenant Unit (yellow pencil) above the tree.
3. In the Tenant Self-Service tab, you must first enable Tenant Self-Service. (It is disabled by default.)
4. In this table:
   • The Type column displays management-user or management-group.
   • The Group Type column displays either NIS or Active Directory for groups, and N/A for users.
   • The Role column displays tenant-admin or tenant-user.
5. To add a self-service user, select Add (green plus sign). In the Add Self-Service User dialog, select the wanted local user, NIS group, or AD group, or create a new local user (there is no default). If you select New local user, the dialog adds fields for Name, Password/Confirm, and Role (tenant-admin or tenant-user). Password validation for a new local user is based on the DD OS password policy strength that is associated with the current Tenant Unit.
6. To edit a self-service user, select a User or Group, and select Edit (yellow pencil). You can change the Role from tenant-admin to tenant-user, or change it conversely.
7. To delete a self-service user, select a User or Group, and select Delete (X). A confirmation dialog appears to ensure that you definitely want to delete this user or group. A new Tenant self-service user or group is assigned the role of none. If a user or group has already been created with a role other than none, that user or group is disabled and can only be deleted from the table. Also, If a user or group has already been associated with multiple Tenants, that user or group is disabled and can only be deleted from the table.
