By default, the root user has privileges to perform all operations available from the SAM-QFS Manager software.
You can assign other users full access to all SAM-QFS Manager operations, or access to only a subset of operations. The following table lists the five levels of privileges that you can assign to SAM-QFS Manager users.
These privilege levels and the functions assigned to each level are defined in the /etc/security/auth_attr file.
Caution - For proper system operation, do not edit the /etc/security/auth_attr file.
Because multiple users with the same privilege level can be logged in to the software concurrently, there is a risk of one user’s changes overwriting another user’s previous changes. To prevent this, develop policies about who can make changes and how to notify others.
