Add a custom RBAC role
Create a custom RBAC role if you want to manually define the permissions and the access that users have to workload assets, protection plans, or credentials.
Note: You can only use the web UI to configure access to workloads, protection plans, and credentials when you first create the custom role. If you want to change those settings after the role is created, you must recreate the role. Or, add an additional role that has the necessary permissions. You can also use the NetBackup APIs to update the custom role.
Note: Veritas reserves the right to update the RBAC permissions for default roles in future releases. Any revised permissions are automatically applied to users of these roles when NetBackup is upgraded. Any copies of default roles (or any custom roles that are based on default roles) are not automatically updated.
To add a custom RBAC role
- On the left, select Security > RBAC and click Add.
- Select the type of role that you want to create.
You can make a copy of a default role that contains all the preconfigured permissions and settings for that type of role. Or, select Custom role to manually configure all the permissions for a role.
- Provide a Role name and a description.
For example, you may want to indicate that role is for any users that are backup administrators for a particular department or region.
- On the Permissions card, click Assign.
See Role permissions.
The permissions that you select determine the other settings that you can configure for the role.
If you select a default role type, certain permissions are enabled only if they are required for that type of role. (For example, the Storage Administrator does not require permissions for protection plans. The Microsoft SQL Server Administrator requires credentials.)
The Workloads card is enabled when you select Asset permissions.
The Protection plans card is enabled when you select Protection plans permissions.
The Credentials card is enabled when you select Credentials permissions.
- Configure the permissions for the role.
See Role permissions.
- On the Select users card, click Assign.
- When you are done configuring the role, click Save.
