Privilege Classes

DPX comes pre-configured with the following default privilege classes:

Backup Job AdminThe administrator can define backup jobs.
Copy Job AdminThe administrator can define copy jobs.
Device AdminThe administrator can configure device clusters, tape libraries, and devices.
Device OperatorThe administrator can operate devices.
Job OperatorThe administrator can reschedule and run jobs.
License AdminThe administrator can update a license key.
Media AdminThe administrator can configure media pools and media volumes.
Migrate Job AdminThe administrator can define migration jobs.
Node AdminThe administrator can configure node groups and nodes.
Restore Job AdminThe administrator can define restore jobs.
Restricted Restore Job AdminThis special administrator is just like the Restore Job Admin, except he/she can not change the destination of the job.
Site AdminThe administrator has all the assignable privileges.
View Only AdminThe administrator can view all the windows in the management console.

Note that some privilege classes overlap in their privileges, but in general they can be viewed as corresponding to different roles that a real user of DPX may play. Thus one or more privilege classes should be assigned to each administrator.

It is possible to configure additional privilege classes in DPX, but this is only advisable for advanced users and with the help of Professional Services.
