Create a custom role for agentless single file recovery to a guest VM, with a credential
A custom role can allow a VM administrator to perform an agentless single file recovery to a guest VM, with a stored credential. This way the user doesn't need to know the actual username and password for the VM.
Use this role if you do not want users to have the Default VMware Administrator role. Or, you do not want to give users access to all credentials.
To create a custom role for agentless single file recovery to a guest VM, with a credential
- A credential must exist that contains the username and password for the guest VM.
See Add a credential for a VMware guest VM.
Contact your NetBackup administrator for assistance.
- On the left, select Security > RBAC and click Add.
- Select Default VMware Administrator and click Next.
- Provide a Role name and a description.
For example, include a description that the role allows users to perform a single file recovery to a particular guest VM.
- Under Credentials, click Edit.
- Clear the option Apply permissions to new and existing credentials.
- Select the credentials that you want to add to the role. Then click Assign.
Users with the role have access to each credential that you select.
- Under Users, click Edit.
Add the users that you want to have this RBAC role.
- When you are done configuring the role, click Add role.
