6.4. Users Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting problems related to users, the first thing to recall is that users must be correctly added to and authenticated at the Directory Services level, not on the Red Hat Storage Console platform. Problems with permissions can occur when adequate levels of permissions to all required objects have not been assigned. Users, particularly those with administrator roles require to be notified when events or triggers occur.

6.4.1. Managing Event Notifiers

This section describes how to set up and manage event notifications for users. Events are displayed on the Events tab, however, users can be notified by email about selected events. For example, a system administrator might like to know when there is a problem with storage, or a team lead may want to be notified if volume is down.

  1. Click the Users tab. The list of authorized users for Red Hat Storage Console platform displays.
