While many NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control features work with multiple storage clusters, authentication and
authorization have necessary limitations. The limitation around authentication and authorization is that users
from the authoritative cluster can execute actions on other clusters tied to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control even if
they are not a user on the other storage clusters. Before proceeding with managing multiple storage clusters,
you should ensure that users defined on the authoritative clusters are defined on all other storage clusters with
the same permissions. You can manage users from NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control.
Volume accounts
Volume-specific accounts are specific only to the storage cluster on which they were created. These accounts
enable you to set permissions on specific volumes across the network, but have no effect outside of those
volumes.
Volume accounts are managed within the NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control Volumes table.
