When you log in to Adaptec Storage Manager, your permission level is identical to your operating system permission level. For example, if you have Administrator permissions on your operating system, you also have Administrator permissions in Adaptec Storage Manager.
You can log into Adaptec Storage Manager with these permission levels:
Administrator Level
Logging in as an Administrator allows you full access to manage and modify the controllers, enclosures, disk drives, and logical devices that are part of your storage space. (How do I log in as Administrator?)
To log in as an Administrator:
Windows—Enter a valid user name and password for the Administrator or Administrative User on the system. (The Administrative User is any member of the local Administrators group, which can, in a Domain configuration, include Domain Administrators.)
Linux, UnixWare, Openserver, or Solaris—Enter root for the user name and enter the root password.
Operator Level
Logging in as a Operator partially restricts your access to the storage space, as described this table. To log in as a Operator, use your normal network user name and password.

Guest Level
Logging in as a Guest restricts your access to the storage space to “view-only”. You can see all local and remote systems and view their properties windows, view event logs, save configuration files and support archives, and browse the online Help. You cannot make any changes to the storage space.
To log in as Guest, click Cancel on the Login window.
