Granting Permissions To Other Data Protector Express Users - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

Catalog Object
My Drive (Volume)
Media:2(Media)
Group Jobs (Folder)
These permissions allow the user to do the following:
• Because he is a member of the group, the user will be able to create jobs and folders within the
Group Jobs folder. He will also be able to modify and delete any jobs or folders in that folder.
• Because the user has Modify permission to the folder and Read permission to the drive named My
Drive, he will be able to select files from that drive to back up. Similarly, the user will be able to
select files for restoring because he has Read permission to the media named Media:2.
• Unlike the user in
permission to the media. (This assumes he also has Write permission to a backup drive.)
• The user will also be able to create and run Verify jobs.
These permissions do NOT allow the user to do the following:
• Although the user will be able to create and run backup jobs, he will not be allowed to restore files
from those tapes onto his drive because he has not been granted Write permission to his disk drive.
• When the user runs a backup job, he will be prevented from overwriting old files on the media
with new files because he does not have Delete permissions to the tape. Thus the backup jobs
he creates and runs must all be append jobs.
• This user, like the user in
his drive or his tape because he lacks Access permission.
Other members of the group also have some permissions to the jobs and folders inside the Group
Folder, including those created by this user. This affects them in the following ways:
They will be able to view the folders and jobs each group member creates in the Group Jobs
•
folder. Because they have Modify permission, members of the group will be able to modify the
properties of any jobs or folders the group members create inside the Group Jobs folder.
• Because members of this group lack Read permission to this user's drive and media, they will
be unable to change the files this user selected for backing up or restoring—even if they have
Modify permission to a job this user created.
• No other members of this group can run one of this user's jobs unless the Data Protector Express
administrator grants them the appropriate Read and Write permissions.

Granting Permissions to Other Data Protector Express Users

If your Data Protector Express administrator has given you Access permission to an object, you will be
able to grant other users and groups permissions to that object. Generally your Data Protector Express
administrator will only grant you Access permission to objects in the Data Protector Express catalog when
he or she wants you to be able to share this data with other users.
For example, if your Data Protector Express administrator has given you Access permission to an archive
tape, you will be able to grant other users Read permission to the tape. This would allow other users to
restore files from this tape to any drive they have Write permission to.
