Authorizing Another User to Restore or Retrieve Your Files

You can authorize a user on another node to restore your backup versions or retrieve your archive copies. This lets you share files with other people or with other workstations that you use with a different node name. To authorize another node to restore or retrieve your files:

  1. Click Utilities from the main window.
  2. Click User access list. The User Access List window appears.
  3. Enter the name of the node, directory, and file specification in the User Access List window for which you want the user to have access, along with either the drive letter or drive label on which the files reside. You must provide a file specification that matches data that has already been stored on the server. You can give the node access to either backups or archives. You must add separate authorizations for backup and archive access, even if you want to give the same node access to the same files for both. Use an asterisk (*) for the node name to authorize all nodes.
  4. Click Add to add the user.
  5. Click OK from the User Access List window to add the node to the authorization list. The node is not added until you do this. While you are in the User Access List window, you can add several nodes at once, delete nodes, or change your existing authorizations. All additions, deletions, and changes are processed when you click OK. If you make a mistake, click Cancel to leave the User Access List and start again.

The node you are authorizing must be registered with your Tivoli Storage Manager server.

You can also use the set access command to work with your user access list. Use the query access command to display your current list and delete access to delete users from the list. For more information on these commands, see:
