Account Management

The ETERNUS DX uses roles to allocate access authority when a user account is created, and sets which functions can be used depending on the user privileges.

Since the authorized functions of the storage administrator are classified according to the usage and only minimum privileges are given to the administrator, security is improved and operational mistakes and management hours can be reduced.

Up to 60 user accounts can be set in the ETERNUS DX.

The number of users that can simultaneously log in to the storage system is as follows.
