NetBackup hosts

Note:

Though the Hosts settings appear under the Security node in the NetBackup web UI, giving a user all RBAC "Security" permissions does not give the user "Hosts" permissions.

The NetBackup Hosts permissions allow a user to view and manage hosts and host mappings.

Minimally the View permission is also required to enable the following settings and functionality in the NetBackup web UI: User sessions, Processes and Daemons in the Activity monitor, Jobs, notifications in the toolbar, and Auto discovery settings for RHV and VMware.
