User privileges

If you plan to use the web client, ensure that you are assigned an administrative user ID with system privilege, policy privilege, client access authority, or client owner authority.

When a new node is registered with the server, the node must be given an administrative user ID of the same node name with client owner authority.

The IBM Spectrum Protect™ server administrator must specify the userid parameter with the REGISTER NODE server command:

REGISTER NODE node_name password userid=user_id

where the node name and the administrative user ID must be the same. For example:

REGISTER NODE node_a mypassw0rd userid=node_a

Tip: You can use the revokeremoteaccess option to prevent IBM Spectrum Protect administrators with client access privilege from performing client operations on your workstation through the web client. However, IBM Spectrum Protect administrators with client owner privilege, system privilege, or policy privilege can still perform client operations on your workstation through the web client.
