Snapdrive for Unix

User name formats for performing access checks with Operations Manager console

Contributors

SnapDrive for UNIX uses the user name formats for performing access checks with Operations Manager console. These formats depends on whether you are a Network Information System (NIS) or a local user.

SnapDrive for UNIX uses the following formats to check whether a user is authorized to perform certain tasks:

  • If you are an NIS user running the snapdrive command, SnapDrive for UNIX uses the format <nisdomain>\<username> (for example, netapp.com\marc)

  • If you are a local user of a UNIX host such as lnx197-141, SnapDrive for UNIX uses the format <hostname>\<username> format (for example, lnx197-141\john)

  • If you are an administrator (root) of a UNIX host, SnapDrive for UNIX always treats the administrator as a local user and uses the format lnx197-141\root.
