User administration

VSP One Block storage systems support a rich set of user administration features, including roles, permissions, user account security policies, and resource access control. System administrators can manage users by groups and set up access control by defining who can access what storage system resources.

You can create and manage users locally or configure the storage system to authenticate users with an existing authentication server, such as LDAP. Users can be authenticated by the authentication server, but user groups are allocated to users based on the configuration in the maintenance utility.

1. Configure the user account security policies.
2. Create user groups.
3. Create resource groups and assign them to the user groups.
4. Create users and assign them to the user groups.
