Defining a User Group

Users can belong to more than one user group and have the combined access of both groups.

While users can be members of multiple user groups simultaneously, NetBackup does not allow user groups to be nested.

For example, while members of a user group can belong to more than one user group, a user group cannot belong to another user group.

  To add a new user to a user group

1. As a member of the NBU_Security Admin user group (or equivalent), expand Access Management > NBU User Groups.
2. Double-click on the user group to which you wish to add a user.
3. Select the Users tab and click New User.
4. Enter the user name and the authentication domain. Select the domain type of the user: NIS, NIS+, PASSWD, NT or Vx. See the VERITAS Security Services Administrator's Guide for more information on domain types.

   For the User Type, select whether the user is an individual user or an OS domain.

5. Click OK. The name is added to the Assigned Users list.
