Hitachi VSP G400 System Administration Guide

This section describes the types of NAS storage system administrators and
defines their expected roles in managing the system and the associated
storage subsystems.
• Global Administrators can manage everything in the system: file
systems, file services, or file system related features and functions,
storage devices and their components. Also, the Global Administrator
creates and manages SMU user profiles (Server Administrators, Storage
Administrators, Server+Storage Administrators, and other Global
Administrators). Global Administrators also control what servers and
storage devices each administrator can access.
• Storage Administrators manage storage devices, as specified in the
administrator profile created by the Global Administrator.
Storage Administrators can manage only storage devices and their
components (racks, physical disks, SDs, and storage pools). Storage
Administrators cannot manage file systems, file services, or file system
related features and functions, and they cannot manage users.
• Server Administrators manage servers and clusters, as specified in the
administrator profile created by the Global Administrator. Server
Administrators cannot manage storage devices.
Server Administrators can manage file systems and file services such as
CIFS Shares, NFS Exports, and they can manage file system related
features and functions such as snapshots, quotas, and migration policies
and schedules.
• Server+Storage Administrators manage servers, clusters, and storage
devices, as specified in the administrator profile created by the Global
Administrator.
Server+Storage administrators can manage everything Server
Administrators and Storage Administrators can manage: file systems, file
services, or file system related features and functions, and they can also
manage storage devices and their components.
All administrators can connect to the NAS storage system through NAS
Manager, the browser-based management utility provided by the system
management unit (SMU). Additionally, Global Administrators on an external
or virtual SMU can connect to the SMU command line interface (CLI). SMU
CLI access is not available on an embedded SMU or a NAS module SMU.
Read-only users: The above roles (when defined for local users or Active
Directory groups) can be modified by making them read-only. A read-only
user has permission to view most pages of the NAS Manager; however, they
are not generally allowed to perform any actions on the NAS Manager that
would trigger a system or configuration change.
Note: Server Administrators, Storage Administrators, and Server+Storage
Administrators cannot access all of the NAS Manager pages that a Global
Administrator can access.
