NetVault user privilege restriction to run jobs in a client group

Hello Sebastien,

User Client Groups and privileges are sort of a mixed bag. On one had, users added to a restrictive client group will only have access to the clients defined within that group, however, it does not prevent that user from submitting or editing a specific job, or other job-related functions related to that client if that user has certain "manage job" type permissions granted.

This Client Groups permission, is really tailored for two main functions - 1) To be able to manage those clients from a configuration aspect. 2) To be able to create a policy for those clients, which would involve creating a Policy Job which would allow only those clients to be added to it. However that is not to say it cannot just create normal backup jobs or perform restores with the clients within its client group.

With NetVault 11.1, you now have different preset user permissions you can assign to a specific user, and combine that with the specific Client Group, that user should then only be able to manage clients and jobs within that group of clients. Which means they should only be able to see those clients they can control in all views.

For example, if you give a user access to a client group of 5 Clients, they will only be able to make create, edit, and make changes to jobs and clients that are within that group, anything else will not appear or be able to be accessed.

Please let me know if this has made it a bit clearer for you. I would be happy as well to arrange for a support session as well if one is so desired.

Thanks,

Andre

Hello

Thanks for your quick answer.

I did more tests, and list commands output seems logical with defined privileges and client groups memberships. My problem looks more and more like a bug, I'm opening a private support request.

Best regards
