Managing Administrator Accounts
You can both create local administrators and give remote users (AD/LDAP/NIS) administrator permissions.
System alerts are sent to the email address specified for the administrator.
When creating an administrator, you specify an administrator permission level. The permission level
defines the set of actions that are allowed by the administrator. Permission levels are predefined in the
system as follows:
• NAS Volume Administrator: The following table summarizes which settings a volume administrator
can change for the NAS volume(s) to which they are assigned. They can also view, but not change,
settings for other NAS volumes and the rest of the FluidFS cluster configuration.
• NAS Cluster Administrator: The administrator can manage any aspect of the FluidFS cluster.
