GUI user role considerations

When the IBM Spectrum Scale™ is updated from 4.2.0.x to 4.2.1, no default group is created for the user role User Administrator.

If you need to assign User Administrator role to the admin user, you need to create a user group with User Administrator role. Perform the following steps to create a user group with User Administrator role:

Select Access > GUI Users in the IBM Spectrum Scale management GUI.
Click Create Group under Groups tab.
In the Create User Group window, enter the user group as UserAdmin.
Select user group role as User Administrator.

Now, you are ready to assign the User Administrator role to the admin users.

Note: This process is not required for fresh installation of IBM Spectrum Scale system. In case of fresh installation, the User Administrator role is granted to the group UserAdmin by default.
