XYZ Corporation, a multinational company, has a large team of storage engineers and storage administrators. They allow this team to manage storage assets for their regions while limiting access to core Console local deployment tasks like user management and license management.

Within a team of 12, two users are given the Storage viewer role which allows them to monitor the storage resources associated with the Console local deployment fleets they are assigned to. The remaining nine are given the Storage admin role which includes the ability to manage software updates, access ONTAP System Manager through the Console local deployment, as well as discover storage resources (add systems). One person on the team is given the System health specialist role so they can manage the health of the storage resources in their region, but not modify or delete any systems. This person can also perform software updates on the storage resources for fleets they are assigned.

The organization has two additional users with the Organization admin role who can manage all aspects of the Console local deployment, including user management and license management, as well as several users with the Folder or fleet admin role who can perform Console local deployment administration tasks for the folders and fleets they are assigned to.

The following table shows the actions each storage role performs.
