StorNav 2 - The permission to modify (View and Modify) cannot be obtained for a user who has the proper privileges.

When a user logs out an an logs back in the the account may become View Only.

If this problem occurs, the login status of the array is retained until the time-out of the array session occurs or while the login to Navigator 2 is valid (up to 17 minutes  when Navigator 2 is terminated by pressing the Logout button or up to 34 minutes when Navigator 2 is terminated by clicking the Close or X button.

When a change of the settings of the array is required immediately after the logout, return to the Arrays screen by clicking the Resources button on the left side of the  screen, and then terminate Navigator 2 by clicking the button.

Session

A session is the period that you logged in and out from an array. Every login starts a session; so the same user can have more than one session.  When the user logs in, the array issues a session ID to the program they are operating. 256 users can log in a single array at the same time (including multiple logins by the same user).  The session ID is deleted when the following occurs (note that after the session ID is deleted, the array is not operational):

. A user logs out

. A user is forced to log out

. The status without an operation exceeds the log in validity

. The planned shutdown is executed

NOTE: Pressing the Logout button does not immediately terminate an active session. The status for the array(s) remains "logged in" until the session timeout period is reached for either the array itself or by Navigator 2 reaching its timeout period. One of two session timeout periods may be enforced from Navigator 2:

. Up to 17 minutes when a Navigator 2 session is terminated by pressing Logout from the main screen.

. Up to 34 minutes when a Navigator 2 session is terminated by closing the Web browser window.

Session Types for Operating Resources

A session type is used to avoid simultaneous resource updates by multiple users.  When multiple public accounts with the View and Modify role log in the array, the Modify role is given to the account that logs in first. The account that logs in after only has the View role. However, if a user with the Storage Administrator (View and Modify) role logs in first, another user with the Account Administrator (View and Modify) role can still log in and have the Modify role because the roles are not duplicate.

The built-in account always logs in with the Modify mode. Therefore, after the built-in account logs in, a public account that has the same View and Modify role is forced into the View mode. 

NOTE: The built-in account is the root account and has all privileges. The Account Administrator (View and Modify or View Only) role can display account information, including which users have modification privileges
