Permissions for mapped roles

The RBAC (role-based access control) capabilities include pre-defined users with one or more roles mapped to them. Each role includes permissions for accessing tasks in ThinkSystem SAN Manager .

The roles provide user access to tasks, as follows:

  • Storage admin – Full read/write access to storage objects on the arrays, but no access to the security configuration.
  • Security admin – Access to the security configuration in Access Management and Certificate Management.
  • Support admin – Access to all hardware resources on storage arrays, failure data, and MEL events. No access to storage objects or the security configuration.
  • Monitor – Read-only access to all storage objects, but no access to the security configuration.

If a user does not have permissions for a certain function, that function is either unavailable for selection or does not display in the user interface.
