Starting And Logging In On The Local System - Adaptec Storage Manager User Manual

Starting and Logging In on the Local System

This section describes how to start and log in to the full Adaptec Storage Manager application.
It also explains how Adaptec Storage Manager uses existing operating system permission levels
to grant different amounts of access to your storage space.
Understanding Permission Levels
When you log in to Adaptec Storage Manager, your permission level is identical to your
operating system permission level. For example, if you have Administrator permissions on
your operating system, you also have Administrator permissions in Adaptec Storage Manager.
This section describes the three different permission levels.
Administrator Level
Logging in as an Administrator allows you full access to manage and modify the controllers,
disk drives, and logical drives that are part of your storage space.
To log in as an Administrator:

User on the system. (The Administrative User is any member of the local Administrators
group, which can, in a Domain configuration, include Domain Administrators.)
