Granting the AMS role to a user or a user group

You can grant the AMS role to a user from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu on the AMS. Ensure that AMS is configured on the appliance where you want to grant an AMS user role.

To know more about creating a user or a user group, see the NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide.

To grant AMS role to a user

  1. Log on to the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu on the AMS as an Administrator. Only an Administrator can grant an AMS user role.
  2. Navigate to Main > Settings > Security > Authorization.
  3. You can grant the AMS role to a user or a group. Use either of the following commands:

    Grant AMS Users users

    Example: Grant AMS Users garry

    Here, users is a comma-separated list of local users, or registered users that have been added to the appliance from a configured remote directory service (such as LDAP, AD, or NIS).

    Grant AMS Group groups

    Here, groups is a comma-separated list of registered user groups that have been added to the appliance from a configured remote directory service (such as LDAP, AD, or NIS).

  4. You can use the List command to verify the role of the user or user group.

    Example:

    nbapp.Authorization> List
