Manage access permission
The permission allows a user to manage who can access a specific part of NetBackup. Users that manage access also need permissions. 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.
For example, a user that has on VMware assets can add or remove the custom roles that have access to VMware assets. This user can also add or remove the specific permissions that a custom role has on VMware assets.
If a default role does not have the permission that a user needs, you can create a custom role with that permission. Also give the user the permissions for and . These permissions allow the user to view and add users to roles and to add and manage roles.
You can remove access to an area of the web UI for a custom role. For each category for which you want to remove the manage access permission, clear the permission. You must edit permissions for assets, protection plans, or credentials directly from the applicable node in the web UI.
For example, to remove manage access permissions for VMware, go to and then select . Or, open the details for a VM and click on the Permissions tab.
