View API keys

NetBackup security administrators or NetBackup users with permissions to view API keys can view the keys that are associated with all NetBackup users. A NetBackup-authenticated user can view and manage their own API key using the NetBackup APIs, if the user does not have RBAC permissions.

To view API keys

  • On the left, select Security > API keys.
