Disable command-line (CLI) access for operating system (OS) administrators

By default, an OS administrator (user or group member) has access to the NetBackup CLI and does not need to be a member of an RBAC role.

If you do not want an OS administrator to automatically have this access, you can disable it. An OS administrator must then log in with bpnbat -login to access the CLI.

To disable CLI access for OS administrators

  1. Sign in to the web UI.
  2. On the left, select Security > RBAC.
  3. On the top right, click Role-based access control settings.
  4. Turn off CLI access for Operating System Administrator.
