RBAC roles for the KVM administrator

NetBackup enables control over which users can access which KVM resources using Role Based Access Control (RBAC). You can grant RBAC access globally (to all KVM assets) or for specific KVM hosts or individual virtual machines.

The Default KVM Administrator role has access to all KVM assets (global).

Note the following:

  • If you choose to create a custom role for KVM assets, permissions can be configured only at the KVM host level or at the KVM virtual machine level.

  • To create an RBAC role, you must have the RBAC Administrator role or the permissions to create roles.

  • Contact your NetBackup administrator for assistance with creating roles.
