Groups

A user group is a collection of users who share the same resources and permissions.

There are default user groups which can be used for user permission management, but if needed, administrator can create new user groups with customized permissions.

Log in to the backup system as the system administrator admin. Click System> User Management> Groups to open the user group list page. There are four default global user groups: Master, Admin, Operator, and Auditor. The Master group is the default user group and cannot be modified, deleted, enabled, disabled, or have resources assigned to it. System administrators can assign newly created global users to the default user group as needed, or create new user groups themselves. They can then assign different role permissions as required and assign newly created global users to these newly created user groups.

Click on Groups Name to view details about User, Roles, Resource Group and Permissions.

Click on Add button to add Backup Proxy, Backup Node, Storage Resources and Resource Group for groups. For the workloads which need to be backed up by the global users within the group, global users need to add from their own web portal, including virtual infrastructure (for VM backup), file backup agent and database backup agent.

Notice

Users added to the newly created user group now possess roles from the new group in addition to their original roles. Their current role permissions represent the union of their original role permissions and the role permissions from the new user group.

Deleting a user group will remove its association with users, causing their corresponding permissions to become inaccessible. Before deletion, ensure that the roles and permissions used by the users remain unaffected. Exercise caution when deleting user groups!
