User Management

Edit online

User Management provides centralized management of groups and securities. Administrators can add and manage groups for security control of what users can restore, export and delete, and whether the users can view reports or configure settings in IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft™ 365. Security group allows you to organize users in IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365 more efficiently. You can add users to a security group, and then all users in that group will have permission to restore any objects that are contained in the object containers that have been assigned to this group.

Administrators group is the built-in group that has all permissions in IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365. You cannot remove this group or update its permissions. The security groups you created will be listed on the User Management page.

Note: The users and groups who have been designated as service administrators of IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365 will be automatically synchronized to the Administrators group. If the user is demoted from the IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365 application administrator to a standard user, IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365 will automatically remove this user from the Administrators group as well.
When you add a security group, distribution group, or mail-enabled security group to IBM Storage Protect for Cloud, the following users cannot sign into IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365:
  • The owner of the distribution group or mail-enabled security group.
  • If the security group has nested groups and the owner of a nested group is not a member of any other groups that have been added to IBM Storage Protect for Cloud/IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365, the nested group owner cannot sign into IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365.
