Individual users
The NetBackup Access Management utility uses your existing OS-defined users, groups, and domains. The Access Management utility maintains no list of users and passwords. When members of groups are defined, the Security Administrator specifies existing OS users as members of user groups.
Every authenticated user belongs to at least one authorization user group. By default, every user belongs to the user group NBU_Users, which contains all of the authenticated users.
Figure: Individual users shows individual authenticated users.
All authenticated users are implicit members of the NBU_Users user group. All other groups must have members defined explicitly. The NetBackup Security Administrator can delete a manually added member to other groups. However, the Security Administrator may not delete the predefined implicit members of the NBU_Security Admin groups. The OS groups and OS users can be added to an authorization group.
