Contributors netapp-pcarriga netapp-mj39955

NetApp Data Migrator uses Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to provide secure and efficient management of data migration activities. After setting up control and worker virtual machines (VMs), App Admin users can create and assign roles to new users. This allows new users to log in, view or manage projects, and perform other migration activities, depending on their permissions.

About this task

You need to be logged in as App Admin to add a new user, enable or disable an existing user, or reset a user password.

Add a new user

Create a new user and share the temporary password.

Steps
  1. Log in to NetApp Data Migrator.

  2. Select Settings > Users to view a list of registered users.

  3. Select Add User.

  4. Enter the First Name, Last Name, and Email address for the new user.

  5. If the new user requires administrator permissions, select the App Admin checkbox.

  6. Select Submit.

  7. Select the Copy link (next to the password field) to copy the temporary password, which is displayed in a masked format.

  8. Select Close.

  9. Share the copied temporary password with the new user who can then use it to log in. At first login, they will be prompted to change their password.

Disable an existing user

Disable access to NetApp Data Migrator for other users. This prevents users from logging in but does not delete user data or previous migration jobs or logs associated with that user.

Steps
  1. Select the Settings icon in the navigation bar.

  2. Select the Users tab to view a list of registered users.

  3. Select the (⋮) icon beside the details of the user who is being disabled, then select Disable Access from the dropdown menu.

    The user status changes from Active to Inactive and they can't log in to NetApp Data Migrator.

Enable a user

Restore access to NetApp Data Migrator for a disabled user, allowing them to log in and perform actions based on their assigned permissions.

Steps
  1. Select Settings icon in the navigation bar.

  2. Select the Users tab to view a list of registered users.

  3. Select the (⋮) icon beside the details of the user who is being enabled, then select Enable Access from the dropdown menu.

    The user status changes from Inactive to Active. The user can now log in to NetApp Data Migrator.
