About authorization objects and permissions

In general, an authorization object correlates to a node in the NetBackup Administration Console tree.

The Authorization Objects pane contains the NetBackup objects to which permissions can be granted.

The Permissions for "DevHost" pane indicates the permission sets for which the selected user group is configured.

An authorization object may be granted one of these permission sets:

  • Browse/Read

  • Operate

  • Configure

A lowercase letter in the Permissions for "DevHost" column indicates some (but not all) of the permissions in a permission set. Permissions have been granted for the object.
