NetBackup Web UI Vault Administrator's Guide

About administering access to Vault

NetBackup provides two mutually exclusive methods for controlling user access:

  • Role Based Access Control (RBAC). lets you control access to NetBackup by defining user groups and granting explicit permissions to these groups. Configuring user groups and assigning permissions is done using RBAC in the NetBackup Web UI.

    Note:

    See NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide, Managing security section.

  • Enhanced Authorization and Authentication. Enhanced authentication allows each side of a NetBackup connection to verify the host and user on the other side of the connection. By default, NetBackup runs without enhanced authentication. Enhanced authorization determines if authenticated users (or groups of users) have NetBackup administrative privileges. By default, NetBackup gives administrative privileges to UNIX root administrators or Windows system administrators on NetBackup servers.

If both RBAC and Enhanced Authorization and Authentication is configured, RBAC takes precedence.
