Creating an administrative user with client owner authority

An administrative user with client owner authority can set parameters on the dsmInitEx function call to start sessions. This user can function as an administrative user with backup and restore authority for the defined nodes.

To receive client owner authority, complete the following steps on the server:

1. Define the administrative user:

     REGister Admin admin_name password 

   Where:

   • admin_name is the administrative user name.
   • password is the admin password.
2. Define the authority level. Users with system or policy authority also have client owner authority.

     Grant Authority admin_name classes authority node   

   Where:

   • admin_name is the administrative user.
   • classes is the node.
   • authority has one of the following levels of authority:
     • owner: full backup and restore authority for the node
     • node: single node
     • domain: group of nodes
3. Define access to a single node.

     Register Node node_name password userid=user_id

   Where:

   • node_name is the client user node
   • password is the client user node password
   • user_id is the administrative user name

   dsmInitEx
 	       clientNodeName = NULL
 	       clientOwnerName = NULL
         clientPassword = NULL
         userName = 'administrative user' name
         userNamePswd = 'administrative user' password
