Changing the password for a tenant's local root user

Contributors netapp-lhalbert

You might need to change the password for a tenant's local root user if the root user is locked out of the account.

What you'll need
  • You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.

  • You must have specific access permissions.

About this task

If single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your StorageGRID system, the local root user cannot sign in to the tenant account. To perform root user tasks, users must belong to a federated group that has the Root Access permission for the tenant.

Steps
  1. Select Tenants.

    The Tenant Accounts page appears and lists all existing tenant accounts.

  2. Select the tenant account you want to edit.

    If your system includes more than 20 items, you can specify how many rows are shown on each page at one time. Use the search box to search for a tenant account by display name or tenant ID.

    The View Details, Edit, and Actions buttons become enabled.

  3. From the Actions drop-down, select Change Root Password.
