Viewing user groups

You can display all user groups that are currently defined on the cluster. From the Viewing User Groups panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console, you can work with the displayed user groups by selecting an action from the task list.

Users with the Security Administrator role can organize users of the SAN Volume Controller cluster by role through user groups. Administrators can create role-based user groups where any users added to the group adopt the role that is assigned to that group. Roles apply to both local and remote users on the cluster and are based on the user group to which the user belongs. A local user can only belong to a single group; therefore, the role of a local user is defined by the single group that the user belongs to. Remote users can belong to one or more groups; therefore, the roles of remote users are assigned according to the groups that the remote user belongs to.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console. To view user groups, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Manage Authentication > User Groups. The Viewing User Groups panel is displayed.
  2. Click Close.
