14 User Roles and Rights 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 roles and rights assigned to the user determine the tasks the user is allowed to perform on a system. To maintain greater control over your system, assign your users a role that has the minimum set of rights that they need to perform their tasks. Eight roles are defined in the HP 3PAR OS. There are four standard roles and four extended roles. Table 1 Standard HP 3PAR OS User Roles User roles Browse Edit Super Service Rights assigned to roles Rights are limited to read-only access. Rights are granted to most operations, such as creating, editing, and removing virtual volumes and other objects. Rights are granted to all operations. Rights are limited to operations required to service the system. Allows limited access to user information and user group resources. Table 2 Extended HP 3PAR OS User Roles User roles Create Basic Edit 3PAR AO 3PAR RM Rights assigned to roles Rights are limited to creating objects, such as virtual volumes, CPGs, hosts, and schedules. Rights are similar to the Edit role. For example, the Basic Edit role can create and edit virtual volumes and other objects. However, the rights 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. Rights are limited to internal use by HP for Recovery Manager operations. There is no functional difference between standard and extended roles. The extended roles define sets of rights that are 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. To view a list of roles and all of the rights assigned to each role, see the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Administrator's Manual.
