NetWorker server's configuration database aka nsrdb can safely accessed using only nsradmin. If your login id is not a part of the administrators list in NetWorker you wont have access to modify any configuration using the nsradmin.
If you think the NetWorker is made of a more user friends DB like mySQL or any other then its not. Its using a WISS database which is very old. but as we all know things are changing in netWorker 9.
What exactly do you want to achieve getting access to the NetWorker database ?
Backups are exclusively stored in the media index database. If you want to get info you must use the GUI or mminfo (which is more flexible) - one of the few NW key commands. The general usage is ...
Contain all the configurable component of Networker Backup
/nsr/res
nsradmin
Media Database
Contains all the save set and volume related data
/nsr/mm
mminfo
Index Database
Contain the metadata of all the backup in granular level
/nsr/index
nsrinfo
So using the above mentioned command you can query these 3 database as per your requirement. Coming to the access Networker is not having separate user list. Networker always refer OS user only as User. But it is having own user group using which you can clubbed some user and set the customized privileges. By default Administrator user group consists the user - root@backup_server or Administrator@backup_server , and having a full privilege.
So if you want to query your Netowker database will full access, add your user id in the Administrator user group of the backup server.
