AUTHORIZ Record

Use the AUTHORIZ record to assign the authorizations to user IDs.

AUTHORIZ  {"Parms"}

Parms:
  SYSADMIN userids... 
| OPERATOR userids... 
| USER userids...

Authorizations are hierarchically organized; system administrator authorization grants the most privileges and user authorization the least. All user IDs granted a higher authorization level can perform lower level functions. For example, a CA VM:Backup operator automatically has user privileges.

Definitions

SysAdmin userids...

Permits the user IDs to perform system administrator functions, such as configuring CA VM:Backup, managing tapes and catalogs, creating backup and restore job templates, and starting special SFS and BFS restore jobs. Enter an asterisk for userid to grant all user IDs system administrator authority.

Operator userids...

Permits the user IDs to perform operator functions, such as managing system activity, starting system backups and restores, and ending or suspending CA VM:Backup job processing. Enter an asterisk for userid to grant all user IDs Operator authority.

User userids...

Permits the user IDs to perform end-user functions, such as restoring files, minidisks, and SFS directories, and responding to CA VM:Backup messages. Enter an asterisk for userid to grant all user IDs User authority.

Description

You can specify any number of AUTHORIZ records. By default, the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine has system administrator authorization.

Interactive Reconfiguration

You can dynamically edit the AUTHORIZ record on the Manage Authorizations system administrator screen. The screen path is:

  1. System Administrator Main Menu
