CONFIGURING LIBRARY USERS
Overview Each library user is assigned to one of three user groups, each
with its own set of pre-defined library privileges (also known as
permissions).
User Privilege Requirements Only a user with superuser privileges can
add, modify, or delete users.
Understanding User Groups and Security
Before you begin, read this section to understand the three types of user
groups and what types of privileges each has.
Note: You must enter an additional password to access the encryption
features. See the Spectra Tape Libraries Encryption User Guide for
information about the encryption user.
The following table describes the three user groups and the privileges of each.
By default, passwords are not required for any of the three default users.
User Group Type Description Default User
Name
Superuser Controls all aspects of the library’s configuration and
operation, including defining other library users and
assigning them to a user-privilege group.
Notes:
 The library requires a minimum of one superuser. You
cannot delete the last member of the Superuser group.
 Only a user with superuser privileges can add, modify, or
delete users.
 Only a user with superuser privileges can access and
configure encryption features.
 Only a user with superuser privileges can use the Soft
Power feature.
 Only a user with superuser privileges can enable or disable
the Enable Automatic Power-Up After Power Failure
feature.
su
Administrator Configures and uses the library. With the exception of creating
or modifying library users, accessing the encryption features,
enabling Automatic Power-Up After Power Failure, and using
the Soft Power feature, users in the Administrator group have
the same privileges as users in the Superuser group.

Operator Performs day-to-day operations. Users assigned to the
Operator group can move, import, and export media, but
cannot access the more sensitive library operations such as
configuration, diagnostics, and security.
