NetBackup™ Logging Reference Guide

Create a custom role for a log collection administrator

A custom role can allow a log collection administrator to sign into the NetBackup web UI with limited access. Use this role if you do not want an administrator to have the RBAC Administrator role. With this custom role, this type of administrator can only perform log collection actions and (optionally) view the Activity monitor and NetBackup jobs to collect logs for specific jobs.

To create a custom role for log collection administrator

  1. On the left, select Security > RBAC and select Add.
  2. Select Custom role and select Next.
  3. Provide a Role name and a description.

    For example, include a description that the role allows an administrator to perform log collection.

  4. Under Permissions, select Assign.
  5. On the Global tab, expand NetBackup management.
  6. (Optional) Go to Jobs. Then select View.

    A user must have this permission to be able to view jobs in the Activity monitor and to collect log for a specific job.

  7. Go to Troubleshooting > Log collection.
  8. Select View, Delete, and Manage logs.

    Note that the View permission also gives the user the ability to download logs.

  9. Select Assign.
  10. Under Users, select Assign. Then add the users that you want to have this RBAC role.
  11. Select Assign.
  12. When you are done configuring the role, select Add role.
