Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Authorizing Another User to Restore/Retrieve Your Files

You can authorize another user on the same workstation or a different workstation to restore backup versions or retrieve archive copies of your files. This permits you to share files with other people or with other workstations that you use with a different node name. To authorize a user on another workstation to restore or retrieve your files, the other workstation must be running one of the UNIX clients. To authorize another user to restore or retrieve your files:

  1. Click on Utilities from the main window. Click on User Access List. The User Access List window appears.
  2. Enter the name of the node and user you want to authorize and the directory and file name for the file to which you want the user to have access. You can give the user access to backups or archives. You must add separate authorizations for backup and archive access, even if you want to give the same user access to the same files for both. You can authorize all users by using an asterisk (*) for the user name or authorize all nodes by using an asterisk (*) for the node name.
  3. Click on Add to add the user. While you are in the User Access List window, you can add several users at once, delete users, or change your existing authorizations. All additions, deletions, and changes are processed when you click OK. Click Cancel to exit the user access list without making any changes.
  4. Click OK to add the user to the user access list (the user is not added until you do this).

See Set Access, Query Access, and Delete Access for information on using commands.

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