Administrators and users of RDZ

The following section identifies the administrator and user roles in relation to the RDZ feature.

  • Global Administrator—A full administrator that has access to all resources. This user is equivalent to a traditional NetWorker administrator. Global administrators oversee the setup and management of several RDZs and determine the access tenant administrators have. A Global Administrator is the only user who can set up the users and privileges of an RDZ. A full administrator may have access to all datazones.
  • Tenant/Restricted Administrator—An administrator that exists only in the RDZ to which they are assigned, and therefore has a limited view and operation of NetWorker. A tenant administrator can only manage NetWorker resources within their assigned restricted data zone. Although, this user has the Monitor NetWorker privilege, they can also view shared resources. It is the Monitor NetWorker privilege within an RDZ, which allows the user to see all shared resources. If the user has the Monitor NetWorker privilege set in the User Groups resources within NetWorker (which is the default privilege for the resources Users and VMware FLR Users​) then they can see all resources and all save sets. You cannot associate a tenant administrator with more than one RDZ, however you can associate with more than one instance of the same RDZ. By using multiple instances of an RDZ, the global administrator can divide and assign specific tasks and privileges among the tenant administrators and users of that RDZ.
  • Tenant/Restricted User—A user that exists only within the RDZ to which they are assigned, and who has no administrative privileges in that datazone. NetWorker does not support a tenant user in two RDZs simultaneously.

Administrator roles

Management and use of RDZs is divided among global administrators and tenant administrators. A global administrator creates and manages RDZs. The global administrator can perform all the RDZ tasks, or associate specific tasks and privileges within each RDZ to one or more RDZ users as tenant administrators.

Although there are many possibilities for the roles of administrators, most setups fall into the following two approaches:

  • Global administrator sets up the initial configuration, and also configures everything, so there is no need for a tenant administrator. This approach may be preferred for a customer with a very large environment, where one individual controls the network and sets up RDZs for various divisions within their company.
  • Global administrator sets up the initial configuration, and tenant Administrators can configure and operate clients and create, view, operate, manage, and modify the NetWorker resources that are associated with their own RDZ according to the privileges assigned by the global administrator. Controls can be put in place to limit a tenant administrator's impact on the server. The global administrator can restrict the NetWorker resources that each RDZ can use, such as the maximum number of clients, devices, jukeboxes, or storage nodes.
