Robust Security for Group Administration

You can access the group for management purposes by using telnet, SSH, or standard or encrypted Web access. Separate password-protected administration accounts can be created, as needed, with either read-write or read-only privileges. You can use accounts configured and authenticated on the group or on a RADIUS (Remote Authorization Dial-in User Service) server.

You can create three types of administration accounts:

• Group administration accounts have full access to all members and volumes in the group. Only these accounts can add and remove members, create pools, and configure replication partners.
• Pool administration accounts can perform operations only within specific pools and optionally can view group information, but cannot make group-wide changes. Pool administrators also have access to the group monitoring information and event logs.
• Read-only accounts can only monitor group members and volumes.
