Configuring Users and User Groups

Example User Configurations

	Example User Configurations
	This section gives some examples of typical user configurations.
	Allowing Users to Restore Their Own Files
	This restore policy allows all or just selected users to restore their own
	data. It provides sufficient security and may relieve the backup operator
	from doing a number of restore operations.
When to Use This	• When the users have sufficient knowledge to handle restores. You
Policy	need to provide some way of training the users on basic backup
	concepts and restore operations.
	• You use library backup devices with media of all most recent
	backups. The Data Protector User group by default does not allow
	users to handle mount requests for needed media. The users will still
	need an intervention from the backup operator in case of a mount
	request.

What Needs to Be 1. Add the users who will be allowed to restore their own data to the

Done?Data Protector users user group. For additional security, you may limit the access to Data Protector for these users to a specific system only.

2.Install the Data Protector User Interface on the systems the users are using. Data Protector automatically checks the user rights and allows restore functionality only.

3.When you configure backup of the user systems, make backups visible to the users by setting it to public.

Enabling Users to Back Up Their Systems

Data Protector differentiates between the user’s right to configure a backup and the user’s right to run an already configured backup.

To create rights for a user to run their own backup, follow these steps:

1.Create a new user group or modify the existing group so that it has the Start backup user right.
