Understanding the User Interface

User Privileges
User privilege levels are manually assigned to user accounts created within the library. Controlling access to screens and
operations within the library preserves the integrity of the library and the data that is stored in it. See
Working With User
Accounts for more information on setting user privilege levels.
Two types of users are defined in PowerVault ML6000 libraries:
• Administrators have access to the entire physical library and all of its partitions, and can configure the library and
set up user and administrator accounts. The library ships with a default administrator account. The user name for the
default administrator account is admin and the password is password. You cannot modify or delete the user name for
the default administrator account, but you can modify the password. If you misplace the password for the default
administrator account, contact Dell Technical Support (see
Contacting Dell).
• Users have access to one or more assigned partitions, as well as portions of the Operations and Reports menus.
Users cannot access the Setup and Tools menus. Users can perform functions within a partition (such as performing
cartridge and tape drive operations), but cannot set up or configure the library (for example, creating or deleting
partitions).
Details on user privileges include:
• The library can contain eighteen user accounts (user or administrator or both), including the default administrator
account.
• Eighteen user (user or administrator or both) sessions can be active at one time.
• The same user can be logged in to a library from multiple remote locations.
• Clicking the close button (X) in the upper-right corner of the Web client closes the browser window but does not log
the user or administrator out.
• All users are logged out automatically after a configurable period of inactivity. The default user session timeout period
is 30 minutes, but administrators can change the user session timeout to a value from 15 minutes to 480 minutes
(eight hours). See
Configuring System Settings.
• A screen saver is invoked after 10 minutes of inactivity on the operator panel. After an hour of inactivity, the screen
will appear black. If the user has not been logged out for inactivity, touching the operator panel will reactivate it,
returning the user to the screen last in use. (The Web client does not use a screen saver.)
• An administrator can disable any access to the library from the Web client. For more information, see Configuring
System Settings.
User Access
Administrators have access to the entire library. Users with user privileges can only access some of the menus. See Table 1
for the Web client menu tree and privilege level information. See
Table 2 for the operator panel menu tree and privilege level
information.
