Cloud snapshot replication jobs are not visible to the Default Cloud Administrator in the NetBackup web UI

NetBackup web UI users with the Default Cloud Administrator role are not able to view Cloud snapshot replication jobs.

Workaround:

Create an additional custom role for the cloud administrator. In that role, add the permission to view all NetBackup jobs.

To create a custom role with the View jobs

  1. Create a custom RBAC role.
  2. On the Permissions card, click Assign.
  3. On the Global tab, expand NetBackup management.
  4. Locate Jobs and select the View permission. You can also add any other job permissions you want for the role.
  5. Add the wanted users to the role.
