User groups

NetBackup Access Management can be configured by assigning permissions to user groups and then assigning users to the user groups. Assigning permissions to groups is done rather than assigning permissions directly to individual users.

Upon successful installation, NetBackup provides default user groups that complement how sites often manage the duties of NetBackup operation. The user groups are listed under Access Management > NBU User Groups. The contents of Access Management are only visible to members of the NBU_Security Admin group.

The Security Administrator can use the default NetBackup user groups or create custom user groups.
