EMC® VNX® Series Security Configuration Guide for VNX

User scope

User accounts on a storage management server can have one of three scopes:

  • Local - This user can access only a single VNX.
  • Global - This user can access the entire Unisphere domain.
  • LDAP - This user has an account in the LDAP directory, and can access any storage system that uses the LDAP server to authenticate users.

The local scope is ideal when access to a single VNX is required. Users with global scope are easier to manage because you can use one account to access all VNX storage systems within a Unisphere domain. Users with LDAP scope are the most flexible because the accounts are not specific to the storage systems.

There may be duplicate usernames with different scopes. For example, a user "Sarah" with a global scope is different from a user "Sarah" with an LDAP scope.
