User authorization settings control the rights or permissions that are granted to a user to access a resource managed by the product. Local users and LDAP users are supported by the system.
When users are added to the MDM, user role definitions must be assigned to them.
NOTE: Local authentication can be disabled on the
PowerFlex Installer /
PowerFlex Gateway. For more information, see the "Security" in the
Configure and Customize Dell PowerFlex.
