Workflow for creating and managing user accounts

Administrators use Device Manager - Storage Navigator to create accounts for all users. The following steps show a basic workflow:

  • If an authentication server is used, connect the management clients to it. An authentication server allows users to log in to Device Manager - Storage Navigator with the same password as the one used for other applications in a system.
  • If an authentication server is not used, use a password dedicated to Device Manager - Storage Navigator to log in. Whether to use the authentication server can be specified for each user.
  • Review Setting up authentication and authorization for information and instructions.
  • Review Managing user groups to understand the user groups and roles you can assign new or existing users.
  • Create user accounts and assign permissions. See Creating user accounts.
  • Change, disable, or delete user passwords and permissions. See Changing user passwords.
