You can do that of course and you could do that since day one with NetWorker. Go into server properties and you will see there option for something called manual saves. Disable it and that's it - bye bye client initiated backups.
If I start the Networker Administrator GUI it works correct. But when I go to the Client and start Networker User, it is still possible to start an backup or to restore files, initiated from the client. And that is what I don't want for the costumer.
Am I doing someting wrong or don't understand the user-management?
I understand, this works fine if the administration GUI is started.
But when you try to start the Networker User Gui on the client itself, which is installed, there is no user authentication, and you can do everything you want.
I dont think so there are any such user restriction you can put on user accessing NW user gui on the client , The only way can be using active directory ,to put the users in group which cannot access the networker .

You first create a group, then add you client user logings to that group the select the task accordingly.

*@hostname
and only gave it monitoring NetWorker priviliges, this worked fine.
This means that any user within the domain that logs on the client can only monitor NetWorker.
You will need an entry per NetWorker client
Hope this helps
