Folders And Job Views; Home, Admin, And Everyone Folders - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

Folders and job views

Job folders appear only on the Jobs and Media view for the users or groups that access to them and in
the Catalog view. That is, a Job folder appears only in the Jobs and Media view (and on the Catalog
view) for the person who created the job or for users or groups who have access rights to it.
Similarly, User/Group folders appear only in the Security view as well as the Catalog view.
Media folders appear in the Jobs and Media and Catalog views.

Home, Admin, and Everyone folders

Three folders play a special role in every catalog: the Home folder, the Admin folder and the Everyone
folder.
The Home folder is the folder that stores all of the User/Group folders within it. It is always at the top of
the hierarchy in the tree view area of the Jobs and Media view. You are not allowed to store jobs "loose"
in the Home folder, only inside other folders. You can, however, create a Job folder in which to store
other jobs. This folder would be available to any user with access rights to it.
The Admin folder is a special folder used by the Data Protector Express administrator. Normally, only
the Data Protector Express administrator has permissions to the Admin folder. If you don't see it inside
your Home folder, this is because the Data Protector Express administrator has not given you permission
to view it.
The Everyone folder is a folder to which every Data Protector Express user has permission. Your Data
Protector Express administrator may place jobs in this folder to which he wants everyone to have access.
Everyone folder and permissions
new objects, if you create a new object inside the Everyone folder, normally everyone will have at
least some permissions to it.
For example, if you create a new backup job and store it in the Everyone folder, it is likely that every Data
Protector Express user will have permissions to that folder and thus to the job.
To restrict the permissions of other Data Protector Express users to a job or folder, you should create a
folder to which only you or your group have permission. Granting permissions is covered in detail in
Permissions.
