User Account Configuration

Procedure for administrators to add or delete users to the View for ClusterStor system.

View for ClusterStor™ has been installed.

View for ClusterStor uses the Grafana Global Users feature for authenticating users when they log in to View for ClusterStor. View for ClusterStor administrators configure login information directly from the Grafana interface. Initial configuration must be done using the Grafana administrator login, which is created during installation. An administrator can create new users and change passwords.

  1. Sign in to View for ClusterStor with administrator privileges.
  2. Select the Settings icon from the View for ClusterStor header, and then select Users.
    The Users page opens in Grafana.

    Alternatively, if already in Grafana, open the Users page by selecting the Grafana Menu icon in the upper left corner, select the Grafana Admin Menu icon from the drop down menu, and then select Global Users.

    From the Users page, perform one or more of these actions:
    • Add a new user (Step 3)
    • Modify the information for an existing user (Step 4)
    • Delete a user (Step 5)
  3. Select Add new user to create a new user. Provide the requested information on the Add new user page, and then select Create.
  4. Select edit to change an existing user's information, permissions, or password on the Edit User page. Select the appropriate Update button after making any changes.
    Note that users without administrative privileges will be able to change passwords in the same way, but will not be able to edit any other user's information or grant privileges.
  5. Select the red X icon to the right of an existing user entry to delete that user.
