• Users and Privileges - Allows you to create user accounts and assign privileges. When you create a user account, you create the user details, add access privileges, assign group membership and a password. Also, using this function, you select the system report templates that a user will be permitted to run and enable/disable cloud report access. See Providing User Access to the Portal.

• User Groups - Allows you to create groups and organize users into these groups. Once you set up a User Group, you can add the access privileges for the members of that group. A group is recommended when giving multiple users or organizations access to reports. This is especially useful when newly supported subsystems and reports become available. See Creating User Groups.

• Domains - A Domain identifies the top level of your host group hierarchy. Most environments will have only one StorageConsole domain. Multiple domains enable organizations such as Managed Services Partners (MSPs) to compartmentalize access to data. See Adding/Configuring a Domain.

• Backup- Allows you to create backup utilization billing and chargeback policies. See Backup Manager Billing and Chargeback Policies.

• Capacity - Allows you to add and edit capacity chargeback policies to allocate costs for storage array usage. See Adding/Editing a Capacity Billing and Usage Policy.

• SAN Fabric - Allows you to create and manage SAN fabric chargeback policies to associate a cost with fabric and port usage. These policies are used by the SAN Fabric Usage report. See Adding/Editing a SAN Fabric Chargeback Policy.

• Collectors - Allows you to set up and manage data collection policies for a variety of enterprise objects, such as storage arrays and switches. See Managing and Monitoring Data Collection.

• Host Inventory - Allows you to configure and manage host inventory data collection as part of your Capacity Manager reporting. See Understanding the Host Data Collection Process.

• Collector Updates - Allows you to view and manage the downloading of updates for collectors. See Deploying Updates to Collectors.

• Thresholds - Allows you to manage Capacity Manager threshold policies for file system, host group, host, LUN, Database, or NetApp Aggregate objects. Threshold Policies enable you to establish Low, Warning, and Critical levels from which to manage the state of your capacity utilization. See Adding/Editing a Threshold Policy.

• NetBackup Discovery - Allows you to set up policies to identify hosts/servers, media servers, and server file systems (NetBackup-specific licensed feature). See Create and Edit Discovery Policies.

• Backup SLA - Allows you to create and edit SLA Group policies to manage service level agreements. See Adding/Editing a Backup SLA Policy.

• File Categories - Allows you to define/edit file categories to report on groups of file metadata that has been collected by File Analytics. (Super-User only and File Analytics specific) See File Categories.

• Master Schedules - Allows you to maintain a master report schedule, where reports are scheduled to run automatically on a regular basis. See Configuring Master Schedules.

• Backup Windows - Allows you to define custom backup windows for Backup Manager reporting. See About Custom Backup Windows.

• Parameters - Do not make adjustments to Advanced Parameters without assistance from APTARE Global Support Services. These provide a mechanism for customizing data collection parameters to meet the needs of your organization. See Customizing with Advanced Parameters.

• Attributes - Allows you to add and manage enterprise object characteristics to facilitate specific filters for reporting and serve as an organizer for the Inventory Navigator. For example, you could associate a data center attribute to servers/hosts and storage arrays to narrow the scope of a report or view your enterprise inventory by data center. See Managing Attributes.

• Publish Benchmark Data - Users can elect to share their performance profiles with the APTARE community of users who share their performance profiles of configured arrays. From the performance profiles, APTARE StorageConsole issues reports of the community’s aggregated performance profiles to those customers who opt-in. Proxy connections are supported. See Adding/Editing a Cloud Policy to Share Performance Statistics.

• Object Maintenance - The StorageConsole database contains a variety of enterprise objects on which reports can be generated. These objects also can have attributes associated with them to further refine the scope of a report. Using the Object Maintenance tool, you can manage these objects. See About Object Maintenance.

• Support Tools - To help facilitate troubleshooting when working with Support, you can download data collector/portal log and configuration files for a specified time period. See Support Tools.

• System Notifications - Provides access to system notifications with the ability to view and suppress them. See Viewing and Managing System Notifications.
