Managing users with Enhanced Auditing

With NetBackup configured for Enhanced Auditing, the administrator can:

  • Grant and revoke NetBackup administrator privileges to users.

  • Look up a user who has NetBackup administrator privileges.

  • List users with NetBackup administrator privileges.

Note:

Only a user with NetBackup administrator privileges can perform user management tasks.

Use the bpnbaz command to perform user management tasks. The add, delete, lookup, and lists users commands must be run with the following options:

bpnbaz -[AddUser | DelUser] Domain_Type:Domain_Name:User_Name [-M server] [-credfile][-reason]

bpnbaz -LookupUser Domain_Type:Domain_Name:User_Name [-M server] [-credfile] bpnbaz -ListUsers [-M server] [-credfile]

bpnbaz -ListUsers Domain_Type:Domain_Name:User_Name [-M server] [-credfile] bpnbaz -ListUsers [-M server] [-credfile]

The following table lists information about each command:
