Enhanced Authorization
The standard authorization that NetBackup runs is based on listing the connecting server in the server list, and the user having root or administrator privileges.
Enhanced authorization provides a platform-independent mechanism for selected users (or groups of users) to administer a NetBackup server from a remote NetBackup Administration Console.
Note
All references in this to the NetBackup Administration Console host when the context is the NetBackup-Java Administration Console refer to the NetBackup-Java console's application server host.
The user(s) can be given privileges to act as a NetBackup administrator, while not having system administrator or UNIX root privileges. Using enhanced authorization, a user can be given the following roles:
- NetBackup administrator on a NetBackup server with administration privileges
- Non-administrator with no administrative privileges
Note
Enhanced authorization can only be used with enhanced authentication.
