Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Adding new users to OpsCenter

You can either add the existing users that are discovered from various domains to OpsCenter or create users in the private "OpsCenterUsers" domain.

You can also add AD / LDAP domain groups to OpsCenter to authorize all users from that group to access OpsCenter.

Individual users or domain user groups that you add in OpsCenter are listed on the Settings > Users > Users tab.

All users from the authorized domain group can logon to OpsCenter with their AD / LDAP credentials. Any changes like addition or removal of a user from an authorized AD / LDAP domain group are automatically reflected in OpsCenter.

Note:

Only a Security Administrator can add or modify user profiles by using the OpsCenter console.

To add a new user to OpsCenter

  1. Log on to the OpsCenter console as a Security Administrator.
  2. In the OpsCenter console, click Settings > Users.
  3. On the Users tab, click Add.
  4. Select the user creation type: New User, Existing Domain User, or Existing Domain Group.

    In OpsCenter, by selecting the Existing Domain Group creation type you can add AD / LDAP domain groups to OpsCenter. Once a domain user group is authorized to access OpsCenter, all users from that group can logon to OpsCenter with their AD / LDAP credentials.

    If you have selected the New User option, specify the password, and enter it once again for confirmation.

    If you have selected the Existing Domain User option, you need to select the domain to which the user belongs.

    If you have selected the Existing Domain Group option, you need to provide the AD/LDAP group name that you want to add and authorize.

  5. Enter the following general and demographic details of the user, which change depending on the user creation type that you have selected:

    User name, user role, domain name, email ID, first name, last name, department, cost center, work number, mobile number, and contact details.

    See User access rights and functions in OpsCenter user interface.

    If you have selected Operator, Reporter, or Restore Operator as the User Role, you can see the Granted Views list box. Select one or more views from the Granted Views list box to grant access of the specific views to the specific user.

  6. Select status of the user or user group: Enabled or Disabled

    If you want to temporarily revoke a user's permission to access OpsCenter, set the user status to 'Disabled'. User with the 'Disabled' user status cannot logon to OpsCenter. However, the user-specific data such as reports or schedules is retained.

  7. Click Save.
