Overview of Management Users

Prev Next

VAST Management System (VMS) users are called managers.

Note

The term 'users' in VMS interfaces, refers to client-side storage users.

For default VMS user accounts and credentials, see Managing VAST Cluster Passwords.

After using the default manager for the first time login, you can change its password and create additional managers with any permissions you choose to assign. The default manager cannot be deleted and its permissions cannot be reduced.

Note

There is also an option to enable VMS login with external provider identities. This is done through roles. See Managing Administrative Roles.Managing Roles
