Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Administrator's Guide

Managing local users

The Local Users panel (Settings > Users > Local) provides options to add new users and modify system permissions for existing users. The first user that completes the onboarding process during system setup will have the manage role. A user with the manage role can add up to nine additional users (SNMPv3 users count towards this limit), modify any user, and delete any user other than the current user.

Users assigned a standard or monitor role can change their own username, password, language and temperature preference, and timeout setting. Standard and monitor users cannot change their access to user interfaces or roles, and they cannot change the settings of other users.

Manage and standard users can both access one or more of the following management interfaces: the PowerVault Manager, CLI or FTP and SFTP. Monitor users can only access the PowerVault Manager and the CLI management interfaces.
