VMware assets
Permissions for VMware assets allow users to view, protect, and restore VMware assets.
Beginning with NetBackup 9.1, the following updates have been made:
You can give one or more job permissions to specific VMware assets.
The permissions for the Default VMware Administrator role give a user the ability to view and manage jobs for VMware assets. The role no longer includes the global permission to view all jobs for any asset.
