Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Setting up RDZ Users

You can set up Users in the Restricted Datazone resource the same way as you would in the User Group resource, with the same set of privileges to choose from.

If you do not use the External Roles attribute, these are normal users. Privileges for the most part only apply to the resource they are associated to, excepting shared resources, which can be seen if the user has Monitor NetWorker privileges.

Note that privileges are additive. If you have a privilege in a User Group resource, that applies to everything, including users who are also simultaneously inside an RDZ. By default, users can see all resources in the User Group resource. You must ensure you modify the User Groups very carefully to make views more restrictive.

An NMC user account can only be assigned to one RDZ at a time. However, NetWorker might not prevent this from happening. Therefore, be cautious when setting up accounts, particularly when using External Roles, where an account might potentially overlap two RDZs. Having the same NMC user account in multiple RDZs results in unpredictable behavior and is not supported.

Adding a User

Add a user to the RDZ to allow them to do administrative tasks within the RDZ by right-clicking Restricted Datazones in the Server window and selecting Properties.

In the User Configuration section of the window, click the + next to External roles to add a group that contains a user, and check the privileges that this user has.
