Role Based Access Control (RBAC) divides the powers of the root and administrator users into more granular privileges and allows the assignment of these privileges to specific roles. For example, data protection administrators can be assigned full access to SmartSync configuration and control but only read-only access to other cluster functionality. SmartSync administrative access is assigned through the ISI_PRIV_DATAMOVER privilege. RBAC is fully integrated with the CLI and platform API.
