RBAC features
The NetBackup web user interface provides the ability to apply role-based access control in your NetBackup environment. Use RBAC to provide access for the users that do not currently have access to NetBackup. Or, for current NetBackup users with administrator access you can provide limited access and permissions, based on their role in your organization.
For information on access control methods for the NetBackup Administration Console and access control and auditing information for root users and administrators, refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
Table: RBAC features
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Roles allow users to perform specific tasks | Add users to one or more default RBAC roles or create custom roles to fit the role of your users. Add a user to the Administrator role to give full NetBackup permissions to that user. See Default RBAC roles. |
Users can access NetBackup areas and the features that fit their role | RBAC users can perform common tasks for their business role, but are restricted from accessing other NetBackup areas and features. RBAC also controls the assets that users can view or manage. |
Auditing of RBAC events | NetBackup audits RBAC events. |
DR ready | RBAC settings are protected with the NetBackup catalog. |
Enhanced Auditing or authorization (auth.conf) configurations still available for older interfaces | Enhanced Auditing is supported across all interfaces. You can continue to use the authorization (auth.conf) configurations with the NetBackup Administration Console and the CLIs. With these older interfaces you can manage access to workflows that are not yet supported in the NetBackup web UI and NetBackup APIs. Note that the auth.conf file does not restrict access to the NetBackup web UI or the NetBackup APIs. |
