NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Approve the CLI access request of another user

If you have the Default Security Administrator role or a role with similar permissions, you can approve the request of another user who needs CLI access. Note that to run commands, that user must also have the RBAC role Default NetBackup Command Line (CLI) Administrator or a role with similar permissions.

To approve the CLI access request of another user

  1. The user that requires CLI access must first run the following command to request approval:

    bpnbat -login -logintype webui -requestApproval

  2. Sign in to the NetBackup web UI.
  3. On the left, select Security > Access keys. Then select the Access codes tab.
  4. Enter the CLI access code that you have received from the user who requires CLI access and select Review.
  5. Review the access request details.
  6. (Optional) Provide any comments.
  7. Select Approve.
