Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Roles required for DDMC tasks

Mutual trust is established between DDMC and its managed systems. If a user is added to DDMC with admin or limited-admin access, that user can also access the managed systems. This access occurs by launching the DD System Manager to perform admin-level operations. Also, an admin-level or limited-admin user can update a managed system. It is recommended that you give each new DDMC user the same consideration that you give a new DD System Manager user.

The roles available in the DDMC are the same as the roles in the DD System Manager:

admin, the DDMC Administrator. An admin can access all functions on a DDMC page.
limited-admin, a DDMC Limited-Administrator. The limited-admin role can configure and monitor the DD system with some limitations. Users who are assigned the limited-admin role cannot:
- Perform data deletion operations
- Edit the registry
- Delete uploaded *.rpm packages
- Delete update schedules
- Enter bash or SE mode
user, a DDMC User. A user can be a stand-alone user or part of a group. The user has access to only certain functions on a DDMC page according to the role that is assigned to that user or group.

The following table shows the actions available for each feature of DDMC. [This table is provided to show when only the user role is required. The admin role can perform all tasks, as previously mentioned.]
