Access control is configured to default setting immediately after installing the Protector master for the first time. The Protector administrator must log on via the web UI using the <username> credentials specified in the Master installation. This user is granted full access to everything within Protector allowing them to configure access control and any other aspect of Protector. The following access control objects are automatically defined at installation:
- The Master authentication space is used to direct authentication to the OS on the master node.
- The <Username>@Master ACP association grants the <username>@master user the built-in Default Administrator ACP.
- The Default Administrator ACP is given the role Protector Admin which allows all activities to be performed. This ACP also grants access to all nodes and all backups on any storage location.
- The default resource group includes all Protector nodes that identify themselves to the master node, be they authorised or unauthorised.
Note: It is recommended that: the top echelon of administrator accounts are created first, allowing lower level administrators to configure their resources and access rights independently.
