Edit or remove user access rules
If a user's role in your organization changes or you need to change the user's access to the assets in the environment, you have the following options:
Edit an access rule for the user and select a different RBAC role or a different object group.
If the user has a custom role, change the permissions for the role. Note that changing the permissions also changes the permissions for any other users that are associated with that role.
Change the object group settings that determine the objects that the user can view or manage. Note that changing these settings also changes access for any other users that are associated with that object group.
Remove an access rule for user so that user no longer has those role permissions or object group access that are defined in the access rule.
Note:
Changes to a user's access rules are not immediately reflected in the web UI. A user with an active session must sign out and sign in again before any changes take effect. A NetBackup security administrator can also sign out users.
Edit an access rule if you want to change the role permissions for a user or objects that the user can view or manage. Any changes you make to an access rule affect only that user.
To edit the access rule for a user
- On the left, click Security > RBAC.
- Click the Access rules tab.
- Locate and click on the name of the user (which is the user's associated access rule) that you want to edit.
- At the bottom left, click the lock icon.
- Select a different role or object group.
- Click Save.
- Repeat step 3 through step 6 to edit other access rules for the user.
Remove an access rule for a user if you want to revoke the role permissions and object group access of the access rule. Removing an access rule only affects the user that is configured in the rule. The user still retains any permissions and access that is granted from other access rules.
To remove an access rule for a user
- On the left, click Security > RBAC.
- Click the Access rules tab.
- Locate the name of the user and select the check box for the access rule that you want to remove.
- Click Remove > Remove.
