Manage access
The permission allows a user to manage the roles and role permissions for a specific permission category. For example, a user that has and for can view and manage the roles that have access to the settings and the permissions that those roles have. The user must also have on the roles they want to select and give access to .
This permission is available for each permission category. However, for some categories the functionality is only available from the NetBackup APIs and not the NetBackup web UI (indicated with "API only").
See the following procedures:
To grant a new role manage access permission
- On the left, select RBAC node and click on the Roles tab.
- Click Add and then select the type of role that you want to add.
- Enter a role name.
- For each category that you want the role to have manage access permissions, select the Manage access permission.
For example, you can create a role that can manage access to VMware assets and credentials.
- Users that manage access also need Access control permissions.
To update a role to have the manage access permission
- On the left, select RBAC node and click on the Roles tab.

- After a role is created, you must edit permissions for assets, protection plans, or credentials directly from the applicable node in the web UI.
For example, to give a role the manage permissions for VMware, go to Workloads > VMware and then select VMware settings > Manage permissions. Or, open the details for a VM and click on the Permissions tab.
- Users that manage access also need Access control permissions.
