Tivoli Storage Manager for Macintosh Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Authorizing Another User to Restore or Retrieve Your Files

You can authorize a user on another node to restore your backup versions or retrieve your archive copies. This allows you to share files with other people or with other workstations that you use with a different Tivoli Storage Manager node name.

To authorize another node to restore or retrieve your files:

  1. From theTivoli Storage Manager main window select the Utilities menu > User Access List item. The User Access List window displays.
  2. Enter the node name of the user you want to authorize, and the directory and file name 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 node access to the same files for both. You can authorize all users by using an asterisk (*) for the node name.
  3. Click on Add to add the node. While you are in the User Access List window, you can add several nodes at once, delete nodes, or change your existing authorizations. All additions, deletions, and changes are processed when you click on OK. If you make a mistake, click on Cancel to exit the user access list and start again.
  4. Click on OK to add the node to the user access list.
