SnapCenter supports role-based access control (RBAC). SnapCenter admin assigns roles and resources through SnapCenter RBAC to either a user in workgroup or active directory, or to groups in active directory. The RBAC user can now log in to SnapCenter with the assigned roles.
During installation, the SnapCenter Server Install wizard creates a shortcut and places it on the desktop and in the Start menu of the host where SnapCenter is installed. Additionally, at the end of the installation, the Install wizard displays the SnapCenter URL based on the information that you provided during installation, which you can copy if you want to log in from a remote system.
Best Practice: For security reasons, it is recommended that you do not enable your browser to save your SnapCenter password.

The default GUI URL is a secure connection to the default port 8146 on the server where the SnapCenter Server is installed (https://server:8146). If you provided a different server port during the SnapCenter installation, that port is used instead.
For Network Load Balance (NLB) deployment, you must access SnapCenter using the NLB cluster IP (https://NLB_Cluster_IP:8146). If you do not see the SnapCenter UI when you navigate to https://NLB_Cluster_IP:8146 in Internet Explorer (IE), you must add the NLB IP address as a trusted site in IE on each plug-in host, or you must disable IE Enhanced Security on each plug-in host.
In addition to using the SnapCenter GUI, you can use PowerShell cmdlets to create scripts to perform configuration, backup, and restore operations. Some cmdlets might have changed with each SnapCenter release. The SnapCenter cmdlet or SnapCenter CLI documentation has the details.
If the logging fails with the error that site cannot be reached, you should map the SSL certificate to SnapCenter.
After logging to SnapCenter Server for the first time, the SnapCenter Server Configuration Checker schedule is created. The default values are Weekly and Every Sunday at 11:59 pm. To modify the schedule or run the SnapCenter Server schedule, click .
