Impact of Enhanced Auditing on NetBackup Administration Console authorization

Access to the command-line and NetBackup Administration Console works differently when you configure Enhanced Auditing. Entries in the auth.conf file supersede the access control for the NetBackup Administration Console.

See Managing users with Enhanced Auditing .

If a user is assigned administrator privileges, the user can perform all auditable NetBackup operations through the command line. Refer to the following table for information about user access:
