Assigning Resources and Privilege Classes

Resources are assigned to each administrator group. Privilege Classes are assigned to each administrator.

The following table describes the selectable resources that can be assigned to an administrator group:

Device Clusters, Node Groups, Tape Libraries, and Media Pools

These are the resources that an administrator can use in carrying out tasks such as backup, restore, and migrate.

Job Folders

Job folders contain the defined jobs that a particular administrator can carry out.

Administrator Groups

Administrator groups (other than the SYSADMIN administrator group) can be assigned to other administrator groups. See Hierarchical Administrator Groups.

Keyrings

Keyrings contain keys for data-encrypted jobs.

To assign a resource to an administrator group:

  1. In the left pane of the Configure Administrator window, click the Enterprise (globe) icon or select Administrator > Show Assignable from the menu bar. The Resource Tree will appear in the right pane.

  2. Expand the left pane until you see the administrator group to which you want to assign resources.
