Workloads that require a custom RBAC role for specific job permissions

The NetBackup web UI offers granular job access for certain workloads. This functionality lets you create a custom RBAC role with job permissions for a particular workload.

Note that these workloads do not have a corresponding default RBAC role. When you configure the custom role, the permissions in the Workloads card do not apply for these workloads. You can configure job permissions for the following workload types:

BackTrack

Hyper-V

NDMP

DataStore

Informix

PureDisk Export

DB2

Lotus Notes

SAP

Enterprise Vault

SharePoint

Standard

Exchange

MS-Windows

Sybase

FlashBackup

NAS Data Protection

Vault

FlashBackup Windows

NBU Catalog

 

 

To create a custom role with job permissions

  1. Create a custom RBAC role.
  2. On the Assets tab, locate the workload name and select the job permissions for the workload.

    For example, consider that you want to create a custom role so a Hyper-V administrator can view Hyper-V jobs. Locate Hyper-V and select the wanted job permissions.

  3. Select any additional permissions that you want for the role.

    For example:

    • Other global permissions

    • Permissions for protection plans and for credentials

  4. Add the users you want to assign to the role.
RBAC job permissions for BigData workloads

You cannot configure job permissions specifically for BigData workloads (Hadoop, HBase or MongoDB). To view and manage jobs for BigData, create a role that has the RBAC permissions for all NetBackup jobs.

To configure job permissions

  1. Create a custom RBAC role.
  2. Under Permissions, click Assign.
  3. On the Global tab, expand NetBackup management.
  4. Locate Jobs and select the job permissions you want for the role.
  5. Add the wanted users to the role.
