Authorization
InForm OS Version 2.3.1 CIM API Programming Reference
3.3 Authorization
Authorization determines whether an entity that has already been authenticated is allowed to
perform a given operation.
The 3PAR CIM Server allows any authenticated user to retrieve CIM class and instance
information. However, to invoke methods on CIM classes or instances, you must either have an
Edit or Super permission level. Refer to the 3PAR Concepts Guide or the 3PAR InForm OS CLI
Administrators Manual for a full discussion on authorization levels.
NOTE: Access to certain information concerning volumes, CPGs, etc., is controlled
by the InForm OS. Therefore, if a user authenticates with the CIM API and only has
access to certain domains, only those objects in those domains returned by the
InForm OS. In addition, operations on those objects also be constrained at the
domain level.
