Examples

The following examples show several approaches to limiting list and restore privileges for your clients. Each of these examples assume there are three clients: shark, eel, and whale.

Example 1

Prevent lists and restores on all three clients.

1. Add DISALLOW_CLIENT_LIST_RESTORE to the bp.conf file.
2. Leave the list_restore setting at 0 (default) for these clients.

Example 2

Prevent restores but allow lists on all clients except shark. Prevent both lists and restores on shark.

1. Add DISALLOW_CLIENT_RESTORE to the bp.conf file.
2. Use bpclient to set list_restore to 3 for shark. Leave the list_restore setting at 0 (default) on the other clients.

Example 3

Prevent lists and restores for all clients except eel. Allow eel to both list and restore files.

1. Add DISALLOW_CLIENT_LIST_RESTORE to the bp.conf file.
2. Use bpclient to set list_restore to 1 for eel. Leave the list_restore setting at 0 (default) on the other clients.

Example 4

Allow lists and restores on all clients except whale. Allow users on whale to list but not restore files.

1. Remove DISALLOW_CLIENT_LIST_RESTORE and DISALLOW_CLIENT_RESTORE from the bp.conf file. (if they exist).
2. Use bpclient to set list_restore to 2 for whale. Leave the list_restore setting at 0 (default) on the other clients.
