Job actions not available for workload administrators with limited RBAC permissions on assets

Note following issues for view and managing jobs with the NetBackup web UI:

  • A job does not receive an asset ID until it runs, which means a queued job does not have an asset ID. Users that have roles with more granular asset permissions for a workload are not able to view or cancel queued jobs.

    This behavior does not affect users with an RBAC role that has full job permissions or a role that can manage all assets for a particular workload.

  • A job does not receive an asset ID if the asset is not yet discovered. Users that have roles with more granular asset permissions for a workload are not able to cancel or restart a job for the asset.

    This behavior does not affect users with an RBAC role that has full job permissions or a role that can manage all assets for a particular workload.

 

Example 1 - VMware administrator with limited asset permissions cannot cancel any queued jobs

Consider a user that has RBAC permissions only for a VMware vCenter or one or more VMs.

  • The user cannot see queued jobs for the vCenter or for the VMs.

  • Similarly, the user is not able to cancel any queued jobs for the vCenter or for the VMs.

 

Example 2 - VMware or RHV administrator with limited asset permissions cannot cancel or restart jobs for undiscovered assets

Consider a user that has RBAC permissions only for a VMware vCenter or an RHV server. This user also has one or more job permissions for these assets, but does not have job permissions for all workload assets.

  • A new asset is added to the environment, but the discovery process hasn't run yet.

  • An existing intelligent group is configured so it includes the new asset.

  • When the backup runs, it includes the new asset in the backup.

  • The user is not able to cancel or restart a job for the new asset.
