Chapter 2 Understanding the User Interface
User Privileges
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 50
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
on page 97 for more information on
setting user privilege levels.
Three types of users are defined in Scalar i500 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 Quantum Technical Support
(see Getting More Information or Help
on page 8).
•
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).
•
Service has access to the entire physical library and all of its partitions
as well as to a hidden
Service menu that includes service and
diagnostic tools. Each library has only one service account.
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.
