User Types

Storage Navigator provides two types of user access levels: storage
administrator and storage partition administrator. You can decide the user
type when you register the user account. The operating range of the storage
system varies by the user type, as described below.
•
A storage administrator can operate the entire storage system. Only
storage administrator can perform the Storage Device List, Control
Panel, Audit log-related operations of Storage Navigator, and the Storage
Navigator CLI commands. The root user account, which is the default
Storage Navigator user account, is a kind of storage administrator.
•
A storage partition administrator can operate a Storage Management
Logical Partition (SLPR) allocated by Storage Navigator. A storage partition
administrator cannot perform the Storage Device List, Control Panel,
Audit log-related operations of Storage Navigator, and the Storage
Navigator CLI commands.
A storage partition administrator can use only a part of program product
options.
For further information on an SLPR or details of the program product
options that a storage partition administrator can use, see to the Virtual
Partition Manager User's Guide.
