Role-based access control

Role-based access control defines the resources and permissions that are available to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus user accounts.

Role-based access provides users with access to only the features and resources that they require. For example, a role can allow a user to run backup and restore jobs for hypervisor resources, but does not allow the user to complete administrative tasks such as creating or modifying user accounts.

To complete the tasks that are described in this documentation, the user must belong to a role that has the required permissions. Ensure that your user account belongs to a role that has the required permissions before you start the task.

To set up and manage user access, see Managing user access.
