When is the account checked?
When a user starts the Data Protector user interface, Data Protector checks user rights.
User rights are also checked when specific tasks are performed by a user.
For more information, see Chapter 4 on page 183.
Data Protector user groups
What are user groups?
When a new user account is created, the user becomes a member of the specified
user group. Each user group contains defined Data Protector user rights. All the
members of the group have the user rights set for the group.
Why use user groups?
Data Protector user groups simplify user configuration. The administrator groups users
according to the access they need. For example, an end-user group could allow
members to restore personal data to a local system only, while the operator group
allows the starting and monitoring of backups, but not the creating of backups.
For more information, see Chapter 4 on page 183.
Data Protector user rights
What are user rights?
Data Protector user rights define the actions that a user can perform with Data
Protector. They are applied on the Data Protector user group level and not to each
user individually. Users added to a user group automatically gain the user rights
assigned to this user group.
Why use user rights?
Data Protector provides flexible user and user group functionality, which allows the
administrator to selectively define who can use a particular Data Protector functionality.
It is important to carefully apply the Data Protector user rights: backing up and
restoring data is essentially the same as copying data.
For more information, see Chapter 4 on page 183.
