Creating a Local UNIX Authentication User Group

This section describes how to create a local UNIX authentication user group. Before creating a local UNIX authentication user, you need to create a user group for the user. When a user accesses the storage system through an NFS client, if the client user has not been added to a domain, the storage system will fail to identify the user. Therefore, you need to create a local UNIX authentication user (with the same ID as the access user) on DeviceManager. This facilitates the management of users of the NFS client, such as user quota allocation.

Procedure

Choose Resources > Access > Authentication User > UNIX Users > Local Authentication User Group.
Select the desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
Click Create.
