Granting SAN File System user access and roles

This topic describes how to grant access and roles for administrative users of SAN File System.

Prerequisites

You must have access to your LDAP server to perform this task.

Context

SAN File System authenticates users by taking their names (with role mappings) and associated passwords from an LDAP server. Therefore, you cannot grant anyone administrative access to SAN File System without first defining them on your LDAP server.

User name, user-to-role mapping and passwords must be entered at the LDAP server, employing the schemas of the LDAP server in your environment. Refer to your LDAP server documentation for more information.
Note: User roles and associated level of read, write, and execute access are defined as a function of your business requirements during the planning phase.
