Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Updating the NetWorker User Group resources for migrated NMC users

The NetWorker server uses the membership in the External Roles field of the user group resources to determine the privileges that are assigned to the NetWorker Authentication Service local database users. After the log in process migrates NMC users into the NetWorker Authentication Service local database, update the User Group resources on each managed NetWorker server, to provide the migrated NMC users with the privileges to each NetWorker server.

1. In the NMC GUI, create an NMC group that contains the local database users. This group allows you to quickly add multiple users that require the same privileges to one or more user groups:
   1. On the NMC GUI, click Setup.
   2. On the User and Roles navigation pane, right-click Groups and select New.
   3. In the Name field, specify a unique name for the group.
      In the Local Users section, select all the user accounts to add to this group, and then click OK.
2. In the Administration window, perform the following steps:
   1. On the toolbar, select Server.
   2. On the left navigation pane, expand User Groups.
   3. Right-click the user group to which the NMC users require membership, and select Properties.
   4. In the Configuration section, click the Add (+) button beside the External Roles attribute.
   5. Select each local database user or group that requires the privileges that are assigned to the user group, and then click OK.
      To select multiple successive users or groups, hold the Ctrl key while you select the first and last user or group. To select multiple individual users or groups in any order, hold the Shift key while you select each user or group.
