About application security on the K2 SAN

The K2Con g application and the Storage Utility application both require that you be logged in to
the application with administrator privileges in order to modify any settings. These privileges are
based on the Windows account that you use when you log in to the K2Con g application. When
you open Storage Utility from within the K2Con g application, the account information is passed
to Storage Utility, so you do not need to log in separately to Storage Utility.
In SiteCon g you con gure global and/or device-type credentials for device access. These credentials
are likewise based on Windows accounts.
You must use a Windows account that has local administrator privileges on the machine to be
con gured. For example, when you are on a control point PC and you run the K2Con g application
for the purpose of con guring a K2 Media Server, the account with which you log in to the K2Con g
application must be present on the K2 Media Server and must have administrator privileges on the
K2 Media Server.
By default, all K2 SAN machines are set up with the following accounts:
