Configuring Users and User Groups

Data Protector User RightsData Protector User Rights

Data Protector users have the user rights of the user group they belong to. For example, all members of the Admin user group have the rights of the Data Protector Admin user group.

When configuring a Windows NT or a Windows 2000 user in a Data Protector cell running the Cell Manager on the HP-UX or Solaris platform, the user has to be configured with the Domain Name or the wildcard group "*".

The Data Protector user rights are described below:

Data Protector software on client

 

systems.

Allows the user to add, delete, and

 

modify users and user groups. Note

 

that this is a powerful right.

pools and the media in the pools and

 

to work with media in libraries,
