Administrator Accounts Overview

Oracle recommends creating a unique administrator account or accounts for the plug-in Monitoring Credential accounts for the Oracle Enterprise Manager for Flash Storage Systems. You use these accounts to monitor the Oracle FS System from the plug-in.

You can create multiple administrator accounts in an Oracle FS System. Additional accounts are not necessary but Oracle recommends you create at least one Administrator 2 account on each Oracle FS System for the plug-in.

An administrator with Administrator 1 privileges needs to create the plug-in account on the Oracle FS System. The administrator who creates the account provides the name and password for the account to the plug-in administrator. Oracle does not recommend using the Oracle FS System Primary Administrator account for the plug‑in account.

Oracle recommends assigning Administrator 2 privileges for these accounts based on the administrator’s role. For example, you must be logged in with an Administrator 1 account to create or modify storage resources or perform tasks other than monitor and generate reports on the Oracle FS System.

Refer to the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide for details about administrator accounts and assigned privileges on the Oracle FS System.

Note: When you add a target, you create a monitoring credential account. This account uses an administrator account on the Oracle FS System to monitor and run reports about the Oracle FS System target.

Refer to the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide for details about creating administrator accounts on the Oracle FS System.
