The following table describes the permissions that can be allowed or denied for
user and groups who use the Symantec System Recovery Agent.
Table 9-3
Permission options
DescriptionOption
Gives the user or the group complete access to all
Symantec System Recovery functionality as if
they are the administrator. If you do not want
users to define, change, or delete backups, or to
manage recovery point storage, do not give them
Full Control.
Full Control
Users or groups can get status information, and
can run a backup job. But they cannot define,
change, or delete any backup jobs, or use any
other function of the product.
Status Only
Users cannot perform any function, or see any
information. They are blocked from any access
to Symantec System Recovery.
Deny
A deny setting takes precedence over an inherited allow setting. For example, a
user who is a member of two groups is denied permissions if the settings for one
of the groups denies permissions. User-denied permissions override group-allow
permissions.
