Read permission is also required to run jobs. Backup jobs require Read permission to the appropriate
volumes, directories and files. Restore jobs require Read permission to the appropriate devices, libraries
and media. Verify jobs require Read permission to all of these objects.
Many commands that perform utility functions, such as Clean Device or Eject Media on a
device, require Read permission. Device commands that also read media in backup devices require
this permission.
Write permission
Affected objects: Media, device, library, volume, directory, file, catalog.
Description: Controls whether a user can write to a given catalog object.
In the case of physical peripherals that perform write functions, such as controllers, devices, libraries and
volumes, Write permission to the peripheral is required in order for Data Protector Express to instruct the
peripheral to write files or directories.
In the case of catalog objects that hold data, such as media, volumes, directories and files, Write
permission is required to write data to these objects.
Affected Commands: Run
Write permission is also required to run jobs. Backup jobs require Write permission to the appropriate
devices, libraries and media. Restore jobs require Write permission to the appropriate volumes,
directories and files.
Delete permission
Affected objects: Media, device, library, volume, directory, file, catalog.
Description: Controls whether a user can delete catalog objects or perform delete functions.
In the case of physical peripherals that perform delete functions including overwrite functions, such as
controllers, devices, libraries and volumes, Delete permission to the peripheral is required in order for
Data Protector Express to instruct the peripheral to delete or overwrite files or directories.
In case of catalog objects that hold data, such as media, volumes, directories and files, Delete permission
is required to delete or overwrite the data contained in these objects.
Affected commands: Delete, Run.
This permission enables Delete, allowing the user to delete objects in the catalog.
Delete permission is also required for some types of jobs. Backup jobs require Delete permission to the
appropriate devices, libraries and media whenever files are overwritten or media are formatted. Restore
jobs require Delete permission to the appropriate volumes, directories and files whenever the files are
overwritten.
Modify permission
Affected objects: All catalog objects.
Affected property pages: General, Selection, Options, Schedule, Logs, Storage, machine diagnostic
pages.
Description: Controls whether a user can change the name of an object, modify the specified property
pages of an object or move an object to a new location in the catalog.
For any object, Modify permission allows the user to change the object's General page. (This affects
only the name of the object.)
For backup, restore and verify jobs, Modify permission to the job allows the user to change the job's
Selection, Options, Schedule and Logs pages. Read permission to the volume is required in order to
select the volume's files and directories on the Selection page.
For machines, controllers and volumes, Modify permission allows the user to modify the diagnostic
pages, such as Communication Test and Ping Test.
