Authorization

The Storage Management Server authorizes user activity based on the role of the user. A role is a collection of access privileges that provides the account administrator with a simple tool for assigning access rights. Unisphere and VNX for file CLI authorize user activity based on the role of the user. VXN for block CLI is based on user credential authentication. Unisphere roles include eight main roles (Operator, Network Administrator, NAS Administrator, SAN Administrator, Storage Administrator, Administrator, Security Administrator, and VM Administrator) and three Data Protection roles (Local Data Protection, Data Protection and Data Recovery).
