Managing User Accounts

The backup appliance controls access to its functionality with the help of user roles. A role defines what operations users can perform and what range of data is available to them in the backup appliance UI.

There are 3 user roles that you can assign to users working with the backup appliance:

• Portal Administrator — can perform all configuration actions, and can also act as a Portal Operator and Restore Operator.
• Portal Operator — can create and edit backup policies, perform backup and restore operations, manage protected data and track session statistics.
• Restore Operator — can only perform restore operations and track session statistics.
• Read-Only User — can only view backup policies, monitor protected data and track session statistics.

The following table describes the functionality available to users with different roles in the backup appliance UI.
