Authorizing an instance administrator to manage backups (Upgrading from Version 5.2 to Version 5.4)

If you want to enable a user other than the cluster administrator to debug issues with backups or to collect data about backups, you must give an instance administrator admin permissions on the project where the backup and restore utility is installed on your cluster.

• Preparing to run an upgrade in a restricted network
• Preparing to run an upgrade from a private container registry
• Upgrading prerequisite software

• Skip this task if the cluster administrator manages this instance of IBM Software Hub.
• Complete this task only if a user other than the cluster administrator manages this instance of IBM Software Hub.
