Unisphere and Unisphere Central 2020 R1 Administrator's Guide

Add Unisphere Users

Depending on your configuration, you can add users to your system using the Data Collector or you can create local users on the Storage Center using Unisphere.

• Data Collector – The Data Collector controls user access to Unisphere Central functions and associated Storage Centers based on the privileges assigned to users: Reporter, Volume Manager, or Administrator. New users and the associated Storage Centers are created and managed only by the Data Collector. If you want to grant Storage Centers access to other members of your organization, use Unisphere Central to grant them access using either of the following methods:
  • Create local Data Collector users.
  • Configure the Data Collector to authenticate users using an external Active Directory or OpenLDAP directory service, and then grant access to specific directory users and/or user groups.
• Unisphere – When connected directly to a Storage Center, use local user groups to control the storage objects that can be viewed by a Storage Center user. The privilege level of a Storage Center user controls what a user can do on a Storage Center.
