SAN File System provides different levels of user access that you can assign to administrative tasks in your environment. These access levels, or user roles, are one way to provide security. The following table describes the SAN File System user roles.
Role | Level | Description |
Monitor | Basic level of access | Allows you to obtain basic status information about the cluster, display the cluster message log, display the rules in a policy set, and list information regarding SAN File System elements such as storage pools, volumes, and filesets. |
Backup | Monitor + backup access | Allows you to perform backup and recovery tasks in addition to all operations available to the Monitor role. |
Operator | Backup + additional access | Allows you perform day-to-day operations and tasks requiring frequent modifications, in addition to all operations available to the Backup and Monitor roles. |
Administrator | Full access | Provides you with full, unrestricted access to all administrative operations. |
At least one user with Administrator access is required. You can also choose to define other roles as appropriate for your organization.
