Privilege Classes

DPX comes pre-configured with the following default privilege classes:

Backup Job Admin

The administrator can define backup jobs.

Copy Job Admin

The administrator can define copy jobs.

Device Admin

The administrator can configure device clusters, tape libraries, and devices.

Device Operator

The administrator can operate devices.

Job Operator

The administrator can reschedule and run jobs.

License Admin

The administrator can update a license key.

Media Admin

The administrator can configure media pools and media volumes.

Migrate Job Admin

The administrator can define migration jobs.

Node Admin

The administrator can configure node groups and nodes.

Restore Job Admin

The administrator can define restore jobs.

Restricted Restore Job Admin

This special administrator is just like the Restore Job Admin, except he/she can not change the destination of the job.

Site Admin

The administrator has all the assignable privileges.

View Only Admin

The administrator can view all the windows in the management console.

Note that some privilege classes overlap in their privileges, but in general they can be viewed as corresponding to different roles that a real user of DPX may play. Thus one or more privilege classes should be assigned to each administrator.

It is possible to configure additional privilege classes in DPX, but this is only advisable for advanced users and with the help of Professional Services.
