By assigning Users/Groups to a Volume, you give them permission to use the resources of that Volume. To provide access to Disk Safes, the User/Group must be assigned to the Volume where the Disk Safes are kept.
{info:title=Note}If you have Disk Safes not assigned to any Volume, then Normal Users will not access this Disk Safe, but the Disk Safe's Policies/Tasks will be available to them.
{info}
The Normal User assigned to the Volume does not see the "Volumes" folder in the Main Menu. But depending on the permissions, the User/Group may access/manipulate the following objects relating to the Volume:
* *Servers* (assigned to the Volume's Disk Safe)
* *Disk Safes for Server* (the Disk Safes are assigned to the Volume)
* *Policies for Server* (the Policies are assigned to the Volume's Disk Safe)
* *Server's Recovery Points* (the Server is assigned to the Volume's Disk Safe)
* *Server's Users and Tasks*
The following scheme visually presents relations between objects in the system:
