14 User Roles and Rights
In order to access an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system, you must have a user account. Each HP
3PAR OS user is assigned a role, and each role is assigned a set of rights. The
assigned to the user determine the tasks the user is allowed to perform on a system. To maintain
greater control over your system, assign users roles with the minimum set of rights they need to
perform their tasks.
Eight roles are defined in the HP 3PAR OS. There are four standard roles and four extended roles.

Rights are limited to creating objects. For example; virtual
volumes, CPGs, hosts, and schedules.
Create
Rights are similar to the Edit role. For example, creating
and editing virtual volumes and other objects. The rights
Basic Edit
to remove objects are more restricted for the Basic Edit role
than the Edit role.
Rights are limited to internal use by HP for Adaptive
Optimization operations.
3PAR AO
Rights are limited to internal use by HP for Recovery
Manager operations.
3PAR RM
There is no functional difference between standard and extended roles. The extended roles define
a set of rights optimized for users with specialized or restricted tasks. For example, assigning a
user the Create role allows the user to create virtual volumes and other objects, but does not allow
the user to remove virtual volumes.
