Log In: Authorization Access Levels

Three levels are provided to prevent unauthorized access to array configuration:

Information
: View Only, access to the Array Information category; can log in to check array status and event messages

Maintenance: access to the Array Information and Maintenance categories; allowed to perform array maintenance opertions

Configuration
: access to all configuration categories including Array Information, Maintenance, and Configuration; all configuration options, e.g, to create or delete an existing array

Except for “Information,” to access an array using the authorization of the other two protection levels,
Configuration (root) and Maintenance, requires no password. The Information access requires a password. The default is "1234." Information users can monitor array status and view event messages. A Maintenance user can perform maintenance jobs onto configured arrays, and a Configuration user has full access rights to create, modify, or delete array configurations.

Except for the Information login, the manager comes with no default password. After gaining control, create a password for the Configuration and Maintenance logins to provide security to the managed disk arrays.
