Storage Management Appliance Software User Guide

You can only import users from a domain that the Storage Management
Appliance has joined. Authentication for these imported users is dependent on the
SMA’s continuing domain membership. If the SMA is removed from the domain,
imported users will not be able to log on. However, the users will regain access
privileges when the SMA rejoins the domain.

For further instructions on importing users, see the Storage Management
Appliance online help.

Modifying and Deleting Users

The Users page (

Figure 18

) allows you to change the properties for a Storage

Management Appliance user account. If you are assigned a User or Operator
privilege level, the Users page displays only your own user account, which you
can then modify. Administrators can view and modify all existing Storage
Management Appliance users. Refer to “

User Privilege Levels

” on page 27 for

more information about this topic.

Depending on your privilege level, you can perform the following tasks:

Delete—The Delete User page lets Administrators remove selected users

from the list of Storage Management Appliance users. Users and
Operators cannot delete themselves.

Properties—The User Properties page lets you view or modify your

own or a selected user’s settings. See “

Setting Additional User Properties

on page 31 for more information.

Set a Password—Users and Operators can use the Set Password page to

specify their own passwords. Administrators can set any user’s password.
This feature is not available for imported users. See “

Managing

Passwords

on page 35 for more information.

Notification—The User Event Notification page lets Administrators set

up or modify event notification settings for any user; it lets Operators do
the same for themselves. See “

Setting Up Notifications

” on page 69 for

more information.
