ONFIGURING
Every library user is assigned to a group, each with its own set of pre-
defined library privileges (also known as permissions). These privileges
determine the type of operations a user can perform on the library. These
privileges are the primary means for configuring library security.

Understanding User Groups and Security

Before you begin, read this section to understand the three types of user
groups and what types of privileges each has. By default, passwords are
not required for any of the three default users.

Note: If encryption is enabled, there is an additional, separate
Encryption user for accessing the encryption features. See
Passwords and Other Identifiers on page 202
about the encryption user.
Superuser – Controls all aspects of library use and configuration. Users
assigned to the Superuser group have total control of the library, which
includes defining other library users and their groups. The default user
name in this group is su.
Note: The library requires a minimum of one superuser. You cannot
delete the last member of the Superuser group.
Administrator – Configures and uses the library. With the exception of
creating or modifying library users, users in the Administrator group
have the same privileges as users in the Superuser group. The default
user in this group is Administrator.
Operator – Performs day-to-day operations. Users assigned to the
Operator group move, import, and export media, but cannot gain
access to more sensitive library operations such as Configuration,
Diagnostics, and Security. The default user in this group is Operator.
