Adding A Local User (Administrator Only); Adding An External User (Administrator Only) - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

role, that user will be an administrator even if the group role is set to user. Role permissions set
through Add User take precedence over role permissions set through Add Group.
Any user with an administrator role has the same permissions as the default administrator. Any user with
a user role will have the same permissions as the default operator.
NOTE: To add external users or groups, first add the StoreOnce device to an AD domain. Connection to
an AD Domain is configured through the NAS CIFS server tab on the StoreOnce System Management
GUI. See Add the StoreOnce appliance to an Active Directory domain.
IMPORTANT: If administrator credentials are lost, the administrator password can be reset through
the hidden user account "HPresetpassword". This account is password protected and is only
accessible from the StoreOnce System console and CLI. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends
changing the HPresetpassword password after installation and store it in an offline password
security tool.
Tip
To identify current user rights, check the title bar of the GUI. The title bar shows your user Type, Name,
and Role.
