Managing users
The system provides three default users. Nine more users can be created.
The default users are “standard users,” which can access one or more of the following management interfaces: PowerVault Manager, CLI,
SMI-S, or FTP and SFTP. You can also create SNMPv3 users, which can either access the Management Information Base (MIB) or
receive trap notifications. SNMPv3 users support SNMPv3 security features, such as authentication and encryption. For information
about configuring trap notifications, see Setting system notification settings. For information about the MIB, see SNMP reference.
As a user with the manage role, you can modify or delete any user other than your current user. Users with the monitor role can change
all settings for their own user except for user type and role. However, users with the monitor role can only view the settings for other
users.
User options
The following options apply to standard and SNMPv3 users:
• User Name. A user name is case sensitive and can have a maximum of 29 bytes. It cannot already exist in the system or include the
following: a space or " , < \
• Password. A password is case sensitive and can have 8–32 characters. If the password contains only printable ASCII characters, then
it must contain at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one numeric character, and one non-alphanumeric
character. A password can include printable UTF-8 characters except for the following: a space or " ' , < > \
• Confirm Password. Re-enter the new password.
• User Type. When creating a new user, select Standard to show options for a standard user, or SNMPv3 to show options for an
SNMPv3 user.
