Privileges

Administrative privileges determine the features available to users in CA Data Protection consoles:

• Admin privileges permit a user to perform administrative tasks such as redefining user roles or disabling management group filtering.
• Audit privileges determine which event auditing tasks are available to a reviewer in the iConsole.
• Event privileges control event handling. For example, they permit reviewers to run event searches, import or export events, or change event expiry dates.
• Machine privileges permit administrators to manage the CA Data Protection machine hierarchy and view log files.
• Policy privileges permit policy administrators to view and edit CA Data Protection policies.
• User privileges permit administrators to manage the user hierarchy and reset passwords.

To assign administrative privileges

1. Right-click a user and click Properties.
2. In the User Properties dialog, click the Privileges tab.
3. Select the privileges you want to assign to the current user.

   Note: User roles provide a shortcut method for assigning administrative privileges. You can also change the default set of privileges assigned to each role.
