NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Create a new custom role

To create a custom Azure RBAC role to use with the service principal in NetBackup, see Azure documentation:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/custom-roles

Note the following:

  • The scope of the role must be at the subscription level. This ensures the service principal works for all storage accounts in the subscription.

  • Grant the required Actions and Data actions permissions.
