Granting roles to NetBackup Virtual Appliance users and user groups
You can use the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu to grant roles to appliance users and user groups and grant them different types of permissions to access the appliance. You can grant the following user roles:
Administrator
NetBackupCLI
The following procedures describe how to grant roles to existing users and user groups.
To grant the Administrator role to a user or a user group
- Log on to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu and navigate to the Settings > Security > Authorization view.
- Run one of the following commands, depending on whether you want to grant the Administrator role to a user or a user group:
Grant Administrator Users <username>, where <username> is a local user or a registered user that has been added to the appliance from a configured remote directory service (LDAP, AD, or NIS).
Grant Administrator Groups <groupname>, where <groupname> is a registered user group that has been added to the appliance from a configured remote directory service (LDAP, AD, or NIS).
You can grant roles to multiple users or user groups at once with a comma-separated list.
- Use the Authorization > List command to verify the changes.
To grant the NetBackupCLI role to a user or a user group
