Determining Who Can Access NetBackup

Access Management allows only one user group, by default, the NBU_Security Admin user group, to define the following aspects of NetBackup Access Management:

• The permissions of individual users.
• The creation of user groups.

First, determine which NetBackup resources your users will need to access.

The Security Administrator may want to first consider what different users have in common, then create user groups with the permissions that these users require. User groups generally correspond to a role, such as administrators, operators, or end-users.

Consider basing user groups on one or more of the following criteria:

• Functional units in your organization (UNIX administration, for example)
• NetBackup resources (drives, policies, for example)
• Location (East Coast or West coast, for example)
• Individual responsibilities (tape operator, for example)
