Create Role​

This section provides instructions for creating a role with access to the following commands:

login-http-admin
api-system-api-list
api-system-get-version
api-cifs-share-list-iter-*
api-volume-list-info-iter-*

The following command needs to be run to create the role.

useradmin role ‑add [ROLE_NAME] ‑c "[ROLE_DESCRIPTION]" ‑a login‑http‑admin,api‑system‑api‑list,api‑system‑get‑version,api‑cifs‑share‑list‑iter‑*,api‑volume‑list‑info‑iter

Example:

useradmin role ‑add enterpriseauditor ‑c "Role for Enterprise Auditor" ‑a login‑http‑admin,api‑system‑api‑list,api‑system‑get‑version,api‑cifs‑share‑list‑iter‑*,api‑volume‑list‑info‑iter‑*

After the role is created, Create a Group & Assign Role.

Create a Group & Assign Role​

Once the role has been created, it must be attached to a group. The following command needs to be run to create a group and assign the role to it.

useradmin group add [GROUP_NAME] ‑r [ROLE_NAME]

Example:

useradmin group add nwxgroup ‑r enterpriseauditor

After the group is created and the role is assigned, Add User to Group.

Add User to Group​

The final step is to add the domain user to the new group, Backup Operators group, and Power Users group. The following command needs to be run to add the user to all three groups.

useradmin domainuser ‑add [DOMAIN\USER] ‑g [GROUP_NAME, WITHIN " MARKS IF MULTIPLE WORDS], "Backup Operators","Power Users"

Example:

useradmin domainuser ‑add example\user1 ‑g nwxgroup,"Backup Operators","Power Users"

This credential is used within the Connection Profile assigned to the File System scans.
