Assign permissions to the intelligent VM group

Things to consider before you assign the permissions to the VM group.

  • View/Update

    • All the clusters in the group, you must have VIEW permission.

    • Without VIEW permission on any of the cluster, you cant preview VMs of the group in Virtual machines tab.

    • The cluster for which you dont have permission is displayed with the lock sign.

    • The deleted cluster is displayed with X sign.

    • To add any new cluster in the existing VM group, you must have VIEW permission for the intended cluster.

    • To update the VM group, you must have VIEW permission on cluster. However, you can delete a non-existing cluster or a cluster without VIEW permission.

  • Protect

    • All the clusters in the group must have PROTECT permission.

    • To protect a VM group, you must have PROTECT permission on the all the clusters of the group and also on the VM group.

    • Without PROTECT permission on all the cluster, Backup Now is disabled.

    • Remove protection is enabled irrespective of permission on the clusters. It is driven only by permission on VM group.

For details on the roles permissions, see NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.
