Log In: Authorization Access Levels

Three levels are provided to prevent unauthorized access to array configuration:

Guest
: View Only, access to the Array Information category; can log in to check array status and event messages

Maintainer: access to the Array Information and Maintenance categories; allowed to perform array maintenance opertions

Super-user
: access to all configuration categories including Array Information, Maintenance, and Configuration; all configuration options, e.g, to create or delete an existing array

Except for “Guest,” to access an array using the authorization of the other two protection levels,
Super user (root) and Maintainer, requires a password. Guest users can monitor array status and view event messages. A User can perform maintenance jobs onto configured arrays, and an Administrator has full access rights to create, modify, or delete array configurations.

RAIDWatch comes with "root" as the password for the Super user. After gaining control, set a password to provide security to the managed disk arrays.
