Default RBAC roles
The NetBackup web UI provides the following default RBAC roles with preconfigured permissions and settings.
Table: Default RBAC roles in the NetBackup web UI
Role name | Description |

Veritas reserves the right to update the RBAC permissions for default roles in future releases. Any revised permissions are automatically applied to users of these roles when NetBackup is upgraded. If you have copies of default roles these roles are not updated automatically. (Or, if you have any custom roles that are based on default roles.) If you want these custom roles to include changes to default roles, you must manually apply the changes or recreate the custom roles.
