7.3. User Properties

Roles and Permissions can be considered as the properties of the User object. Roles are predefined sets of privileges that can be configured from Red Hat Storage Console, permitting access and management to different levels of resources in the cluster, to specific physical and virtual resources. Multilevel administration includes a hierarchy of permissions that can be configured to provide a finely grained model of permissions, or a wider level of permissions as required by your enterprise. For example, a cluster administrator has permissions to manage all servers in the cluster, while a server administrator has system administrator permissions to a single server. A user can have permissions to log into and use a single server but not make any changes to the server configurations, while another user can be assigned system permissions to a server, effectively acting as system administrator on the server.
