Method and system for managing access to storage space are provided. A plurality of client computing systems interfaces with a management console for accessing storage space at a plurality of storage devices managed by a plurality of storage servers that also interfaces with the management console. The management console is configured to receive a request from a client computing system to access a storage volume or to obtain information regarding the storage volume, validate the request by verifying a client computing system identity with a domain controller, store validation result in an access control data structure at a memory storage device; and use the validation result to either accept or reject any future client computing system request for accessing another storage volume without having to validate the future requests with the domain controller.
