SFS Administrator

SFS administrators in CA VM:Director perform three primary functions:

• Identify to CA VM:Director the SFS file pools and user storage groups on your system that it will manage
• Designate existing directory managers as SFS managers, and specify which file pools, storage groups, and default allocations those managers can use when they allocate SFS space under CA VM:Director
• Enroll any user ID in any SFS file pools under CA VM:Director control, giving that user ID any amount of file space in any storage group

You can designate any existing VM user ID as an SFS administrator in CA VM:Director by adding a GRANT SFSADMIN record to the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file for that user ID.

Note: For information about user authorizations and granting user authorizations, see Authorizations. For more about the GRANT record and how to use it, see GRANT Record in the chapter "Configuration File Reference" in the Reference Guide.
