Local users

Use the Hitachi Content Platform System Management Console to create a user and enable the Monitor and Search roles. You must also define Security settings to enable the management API to allow access to some of the HCP system settings.

This user ID must be a system-level user and match the User ID entered in the data collector policy.

Monitor grants permission to use the System Management Console to view the HCP system status and most aspects of the system configuration, including tenant configurations.

Search grants permission to use the metadata query API and Search Console to query or search the default namespace and any namespaces owned by HCP tenants that are configured to allow system-level users to manage them and search their namespaces.
