Individual Users

NetBackup Access Management uses your existing OS-defined users, groups, and domains. As such, Access Management maintains no list of users and passwords. When defining members of groups, the Security Administrator is specifying existing OS level users as members of user groups.

Every authenticated user belongs to at least one authorization user group. By default, every user belongs to the user group NBU_Users, which contains all authenticated users.

There are two types of users that are implicit members of groups:

• On the server hosting the Authorization daemons, root is an implicit member of the NBU_Security Admin user group
• All authenticated users are implicit members of the NBU_Users user group

All other groups must have members defined explicitly. The NetBackup Security Administrator can delete members added manually to other groups; however, the Security Administrator may not delete the predefined implicit members of the NBU_Users and NBU_Security Admin groups. OS groups and OS users may be added to an authorization group.
