Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

OpsCenter user roles

OpsCenter users are categorized as follows:

Table:

User

Description

Security Administrator

A Security Administrator is a super admin user who can perform all OpsCenter functions including user management.

The OpsCenter Security Administrator can create, edit, or delete users.

Administrator

This user can perform all OpsCenter functions except for user management.

Operator

This user is not involved in the activities that are related to managing users, OpsCenter Server, and NetBackup configuration.

Restore Operator

The role of this user is to mainly perform restore operations. The Restore Operator can monitor, perform alert operations and run standard or custom reports.

Reporter

The role of this user is to mainly generate the operational and business-level reports for further analysis. A Reporter would be able to view only those schedules that they themselves create. The Security Administrator, Administrator, and Operator would however be able to access all the schedules.

Note:

You can assign a user role to a user group of an authorized AD / LDAP domain. The same user role is assigned to each user of the authorized domain group.

See About adding AD / LDAP user groups in OpsCenter.

Table: User roles lists the OpsCenter user roles and the OpsCenter UI functions that these users can perform.
