authenticated in an external RADIUS servers. The RADIUS
administrator must add a user name and password to all RADIUS
servers.

User Level Specify the level for the new administrator that you are creating. You
can select any one of the following:
• Global Administrators can manage everything in the system: file
systems, file services, or file system related features and functions,
storage devices and their components. Also, the Global Administrator
creates and manages SMU user profiles (Server Administrators,
Storage Administrators, Server+Storage Administrators, and other
Global Administrators). Global Administrators also control what
servers and storage devices each administrator can access.
• Storage Administrators manage storage devices, as specified in
the administrator profile created by the Global Administrator.
Administrator types and responsibilities
Must start with a letter or an underscore, and may consist of up
to 31 alphanumeric characters and the underscore (_) and the
hyphen (-).
Cannot match certain special purpose names: root, manager,
postgres, nobody, or nfsnobody.
Cannot match certain special purpose user ID numbers: for
example, those with uid less than 502.
Note:
If you are using RADIUS realms, and the global
administrator will access the SMU using both NAS Manager and
the CLI, use the underscore (_) to combine the user name and
the realm: for example, johnsmith_realm2. If the global
administrator will access the SMU using only NAS Manager, you
can use the at sign (@) to combine the user name and the
realm: for example, johnsmith@realm3.
