Chapter 11. Users

This section describes the users in Red Hat Gluster Storage Console, how to set up user roles that control user permission levels, and how to manage users on the Red Hat Gluster Storage. Red Hat Gluster Storage Console relies on directory services for user authentication and information.

Users are assigned roles that allow them to perform their tasks as required. The role with the highest level of permissions is the admin role, which allows a user to set up, manage, and optimize all aspects of the Red Hat Gluster Storage Console. By setting up and configuring roles with permissions to perform actions and create objects, users can be provided with a range of permissions that allow the safe delegation of some administrative tasks to users without granting them complete administrative control.

Red Hat Gluster Storage Console provides a rich user interface that allows an administrator to manage their storage infrastructure from a web browser allowing even the most advanced configurations such as network bonding and VLANs to be centrally managed from a graphical console.
