Dell Storage Manager 2020 R1 Administrator's Guide

Add Dell Storage Manager Users

The Data Collector controls user access to Dell Storage Manager functions and associated Storage Centers based on the privileges assigned to users: Reporter, Volume Manager, or Administrator. New users, as well as the associated Storage Centers, are created and managed only by the Data Collector. If you want to allow other members of your organization to use Dell Storage Manager, use the Data Collector to grant them access. You can grant access using either of the following methods:

• Create local Dell Storage Manager users.
• Configure the Data Collector to authenticate users using an external Active Directory or OpenLDAP directory service, and then grant access to specific directory users and/or user groups.
