# Logging in to the ServeRAID Manager

Use this action log into the ServeRAID Manager. You must log in when you first start the ServeRAID Manager, or if you are logged out.

You can log into the ServeRAID Manager as:

- Administrator: The Administrator log in allows you to view and modify the RAID configuration. You can create and delete logical drives, synchronize logical drives, perform migrations, add and remove hot-spare drives, and verify logical drives. To log in as Administrator, you must be a member of the Administrator group for your operating system. Use the Administrator user name and password or your own user name and password if you are a member of the Administrator group.
- User: The User log in allows you to view the RAID configuration, verify logical drives, and add and remove hot-spares. You cannot create or delete logical drives or perform migrations. To log in as User, use your normal network user name and password.

  Note: On Linux systems, the username and password is defined in /etc/pam.d/storman.

- Guest: The Guest log in allows you to view the RAID configuration only. You cannot change or modify any information. To log in as Guest, simply click Cancel when the ServeRAID Manager "Log in" window opens.
