Abstract

See full text

A method, apparatus, and system for providing role-based access control (RBAC) for storage management are described herein. Resource-identifying information is stored in a role-based access database for a network storage system, in association with role-identifying information for each of a plurality of roles and operation-identifying information. The operation-identifying information indicates one or more authorized operations for each of the plurality of roles and the resource-identifying information identifies specific resources maintained by the network storage system. The role-identifying information, data indicating one or more authorized operations for at least one of the roles, and resource-specific identifying information in the role-based access database are used to determine whether to allow or deny a request from a network storage client to access a resource maintained by the network storage system.
