Manage access permission

The Manage access permission allows a user to manage who can access a specific part of NetBackup. Users that manage access also need Access control permissions. This permission is available for each permission category. However, for some categories the Manage access functionality is only available from the NetBackup APIs and not the NetBackup web UI.

For example, a user that has Manage access on VMware assets can add or remove the custom roles that have access to VMware assets. This user can also add or remove the specific permissions that a custom role has on VMware assets.

Add the manage access permission to a custom role

If a default role does not have the Manage access permission that a user needs, you can create a custom role with that permission. Also give the user the permissions for User and Roles. These permissions allow the user to view and add users to roles and to add and manage roles.

Remove access for a custom role

You can remove access to an area of the web UI for a custom role. For each category for which you want to remove the manage access permission, clear the Manage access permission. You must edit permissions for assets, protection plans, or credentials directly from the applicable node in the web UI.

For example, to remove manage access permissions for VMware, go to Workloads > VMware and then select VMware settings > Manage permissions. Or, open the details for a VM and click on the Permissions tab.
