Access Control properties
NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) is the legacy access control method for NetBackup and is no longer being updated. Veritas recommends that you use role-based access control (RBAC) with the web UI. See the NetBackup Web UI for Security Administrator's Guide.
Use the Access Control host properties in the NetBackup Administration Console to configure NetBackup Authentication and Authorization. The properties apply to currently selected master servers, media servers, and clients.
The property displays, regardless of which tab is selected. It determines whether the local system uses access control and how the system uses it.
The NetBackup Product Authentication and Authorization property contains the following options.
