permission applies to the folder, not to the job: it grants the user permission to create new objects within
that folder.
If you want to create new folders or jobs, your Data Protector Express administrator must grant you
Create permission. Your permission to create new jobs or folders might be limited to a single folder. For
example, you may have Create permission only to the Everyone folder or to a personal folder that your
Data Protector Express administrator has created for you or your group.
If you can't create a new job or folder, first make sure you have selected a folder in the tree view area to
which you have Create rights. If you still cannot create a new job or folder, ask your Data Protector
Express administrator to grant you Create permission to that folder.
This permission allows a user to change the name and location of an object, such as a job, in the Data
Protector Express catalog. Modify permission also allows a user to change or modify the property pages
of an object. If you have this permission, you will be able to move, rename and change the property pages
of objects. For example, to change the name of job, a user must have Modify permission to that job. You
must also have Modify permission to move a job from one folder to another.
These three permissions control user access to objects, such as tapes, devices and files, which are read,
deleted or written to. These permissions are necessary in order to run backup, restore, and verify jobs as
specified below.
To complete a backup job, a user must be granted Read permission to the files to be backed up and
Write permission to both the media and the backup device. If the backup job will overwrite the media
with the new data (as opposed to merely appending the new data), the user must also have Delete
permission to the media.
To complete a restore job, a user must be granted Write permission to the volumes (disk drives) on
which the files are going to restored and Read permission to the media and backup device. If the
restore job will overwrite or replace old files, the user must have Delete permission to those files.
To complete a verify job, a user must be granted Read permission to the files on the PC desktop or
file or application server to be verified, to the media and to the backup device.

Examples of Permissions

The following two examples illustrate how the permissions work with each other.
