Server Sign On

Security Access Levels

The ability to perform certain actions within the FCArray Assistant Client is
entirely dependent on the security access level granted to the individual.
There are three levels of security access:
Guest (no sign-on)
User
Administrator
Guest
Guest (no sign-on) status is automatically assigned to a user, by attaching to a file
server through the FCArray Assistant Client. Guest users can monitor Global
Status and the Log Information Viewer. They cannot make changes to any
parameters or configurations.
User
A User has basic system privileges if signed on. A User signs on to a specific
server with a specific username and a password that has been assigned by the
Administrator of that server. A User can alter parameters of anything that is not
controller or drive related. A User can also monitor the status of any selected
controller and RAID subsystem, but has no administrative capability. The User
cannot set up or modify configurations, kill drives, rebuild drives, or change the
on-line status.
Administrator
An Administrator level access provides the capabilities of Guests and Users, plus
the ability to manipulate controllers and RAID subsystems. These additional
abilities include configuration, drive kill, drive rebuild, and drive state changes.
An Administrator initially signs on as "fcarray" and secures access with a
password.
Under Windows NT, the FCArray Assistant uses security features built into
Windows NT.
