For Access Management, administrators can use RBAC (role-based access control) capabilities enforced in the storage array. These capabilities are referred to as "local user roles."
Configuration workflow
Local user roles are pre-configured for the storage array. To use local user roles for authentication, administrators can do the following:
- An administrator logs in to SANtricity System Manager with a user profile that includes Security Admin
permissions.
Note: The admin user has full access to all functions in the system.
- An administrator reviews the user profiles, which are predefined and cannot be modified.
- Optionally, the administrator assigns new passwords for each user profile.
- Users log in to the system with their assigned credentials.
Management
When using only local user roles for authentication, administrators can perform the following management tasks:
- Change passwords.
- Set a minimum length for passwords.
- Allow users to log in without passwords.
