To access an HCP S Series Node, you need an S Series Node user account. A user account is a set of credentials that gives a user permission to use one or more of these interfaces:
- The HCP S Series Management Console
- The HCP S Series management API
- The Hitachi API for Amazon S3 (the S3 compatible API)
Permissions are granted by the roles associated with a user account. For more information about roles, see User roles.
An S Series Node can have at most 10,000 user accounts.
If you have the administrator or security role, you can use the Management Console or management API to view a list of user accounts. If you have the security role, you can use the Management Console or management API to create, modify, and delete S Series Node user accounts.
To work with user accounts in the Management Console, go to .
