PDFs
Control user access to resources by adding them to projects and folders in your NetApp Console organization. Grant access to users at the project level.
A resource is an entity that the Console is aware of, such as a storage resource, a Console agent, or a Backup and Recovery workload.
You can view and manage resources from the Resources page in the Console.
Console resource types
You can associate several types of resources to projects in your NetApp Console organization:
- Storage resources
-
Storage resources are the most common type of resource in your organization and represent both on-premises and cloud storage systems. When you add a storage system to the Console, you can add it to a folder or project. Until then, the Console marks it as undiscovered and does not display it on the Resources page.
- Console agents
-
If you used a Console agent to discover storage systems, add the agent to the same folder or project. This allows users to perform agent-enabled functions, such as data services or Console-native storage management. You can add agents to folders or projects from the Agents page in the Console. Learn how to associate a Console agent with a folder or project.
- Keystone subscriptions
-
If you have Keystone subscriptions in your organization, you can view them on the Resources page. You can associate Keystone subscriptions with folders or projects to provide access to members who have permissions for those folders or projects.
View the resources in your organization
You can view both discovered and undiscovered resources associated with your organization. The system finds storage resources and marks them as undiscovered until you add them to the Console.
|
The Console excludes Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP resources from the Resources page because users cannot associate them with a role. You can view these resources on the Systems page or from Workloads. |

If you associated the resource with projects, members who have permissions for those projects now have the ability to access the resource from the Console.
-
If you associated the resource with a folder, a Folder or project admin can now access the resource and associate it with a project within the folder. Learn about associating a resource with a folder.
-
If you discover a resource using a Console agent, associate the Console agent with the project to grant access. Otherwise, the Console agent and its associated resource are not accessible by members without the Organization admin role.
