Goal

Create a read-only user account on the ZFS Storage array that allows the user to log in and review the configuration, but not make any changes on storage array.

Solution

When you create a user on the ZFS appliance, you specify roles that grant permission to make changes on the appliance.

If you create a user and do not add any Roles to the user, they will not be able to commit any changes they try to make.

There is also a "Basic Administration" Role which has a very limited set of operations the user is allowed to perform.

You can also define the user as a "Kiosk User" and restrict their access to a specific screen of the appliance.

To create a user that has read-only access to the BUI follow the procedure below .

- Login to the the management BUI as root user
- Click on Configuration ===> Users
- Normally you would create a "Role" for a user , however By default there is a role named "Basic Administration" that allows limited access.
- Click on the "+" to the left of "USERS" to add a new user
- Fill in the "Add user" pop up .

  Type = Select Local unless you want to user an LDAP user
  User Name = whatever you would like as the login name
  Full Name == Description of the user
  Password = password for this user
  Confirm = Type in the password again
  Required Annotation = Leave this unchecked unless you would like the user to write an entry each time they login
  Kiosk user - Leave this unchecked unless you want to limit the user to one specific screen in the BUI when they login
  Roles - If you do not check any Roles, then the user will have no permissions. If you select "Basic Administration" the user will have very limited permissions.
  Click "Add" in the top right .

When this new user logins they can traverse the screens but cannot make changes.

For more information please see the online help from the BUI.
