After administrators are registered, they can make queries and request command-line help. To perform other server functions, they must be granted authority by being assigned one or more administrative privilege classes.
This section describes the privilege classes. An administrator with system privilege can perform any server function. Administrators with policy, storage, operator, or analyst privileges can perform subsets of server functions.
An administrator with system privilege can perform any of the
following server administrative tasks.
System responsibilities
|
Set up enterprise management
|
Manage TSM security
|
An administrator with unrestricted policy privilege can manage the backup and archive services for client nodes assigned to any policy domain. When new policy domains are defined to the server, an administrator with unrestricted policy privilege is automatically authorized to manage the new policy domains.
An administrator with unrestricted policy privilege can perform the
following tasks:
Manage TSM nodes
|
Manage TSM policy
|
Manage TSM schedules
|
An administrator with restricted policy privilege can perform the same operations as an administrator with unrestricted policy privilege but only for specified policy domains.
An administrator with unrestricted storage privilege has the authority to manage the database, recovery log, and all storage pools.
An administrator with unrestricted storage privilege can perform the
following tasks:
Manage the TSM database and recovery logs
|
Manage TSM devices
|
Manage TSM storage pool volumes
|
Administrators with restricted storage privilege can manage only those storage pools to which they are authorized. They cannot manage the database or recovery log.
For those authorized storage pools, administrators with restricted storage
privilege can:
Manage storage pool volumes
|
Administrators with operator privilege control the immediate operation of the server and the availability of storage media.
An administrator with operator privilege can perform the following
tasks:
Manage the TSM server
|
Manage TSM sessions
|
Manage tape operations
|
An administrator with analyst privilege can issue commands that reset the counters that track server statistics.
A user with node privilege can access a Web backup-archive client to perform backup and restore operations. An administrative user ID with the node privilege class has either client owner authority or client access authority.
