CA VM:Director commands and utilities are usable only by those user IDs that have been authorized. This authorization is given by your CA VM:Director system administrator. Typically, directory managers are authorized to use several CA VM:Director commands but no utilities.
Restricting the usability of CA VM:Director functions means that only a few user IDs can perform powerful CA VM:Director functions, although all users and all processes on your VM system benefit from them.
Most user ID and minidisk management functions are probably restricted to the user IDs designated as the CA VM:Director system administrator and directory managers. If your site is using SFS, the SFS–related functions are probably restricted to the user IDs designated as SFS administrator and SFS managers.
The CA VM:Director system administrator is responsible for designating other system administrators (if necessary, although not recommended) and directory managers; for defining directory manager and user authorizations; and for describing the scope of the directory manager authorizations.
Directory managers perform whatever functions the CA VM:Director system administrator authorizes them to perform. These typically, but not always and not necessarily, include routine directory maintenance, minidisk management, and user ID management tasks for a group of user IDs assigned to that directory manager.
Directory managers are designated by the system administrator from existing VM user IDs; the system administrator can delegate any directory or user ID management tasks to any directory managers.
The CA VM:Director SFS administrator describes the SFS configuration to CA VM:Director, maintains the information that CA VM:Director has about the SFS configuration, designates directory managers to be SFS managers for the user IDs they manage, and enrolls user IDs in SFS.
Your CA VM:Director system administrator can designate any existing VM user ID as an SFS administrator in CA VM:Director.
SFS managers can add, or enroll, in SFS any user ID that they manage as part of their group. They also monitor the amount of file space their user IDs have and how much they need, and manage the file space allocated to each user ID.
SFS managers are any directory managers that an SFS administrator has designated as SFS managers.
If you are an SFS manager, you can use the information in Managing User IDs Under SFS to enroll the user IDs you manage in SFS.
