About authorizing NetBackup users

Users who have root or administrator access on the NetBackup master server are authorized to use all of the NetBackup applications on a NetBackup host. Other users are allowed to access only the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.

For the NetBackup web user interface (web UI), you can authorize other users by creating access rules for those users using RBAC. See the NetBackup Web UI Guide for the Security Administrator.

For the Administration Console, you can use the auth.conf file to grant users access to specific NetBackup applications.

See About authorizing nonroot users for specific applications.
