Add exempted users

Your organization may need to exempt certain users from multi-person authorization so that operations like image expiry and image hold removal can proceed without second-level approval.

Add such users to the exempted users' list.

Note:

User groups cannot be added to the exempted list. Only individual users can be exempted.

The exempted users also need to go through the multi-person authorization workflow for the following operations:

Modifying multi-person authorization configuration
Modifying global security settings
Modifying risk engine-based anomaly detection configuration

An exempted user is generally an automation user or a script that does not require multi-person authorization. By default, multi-person authorization configuration does not have exempted users and that is a recommended security setting.

To add exempted users

Sign into the NetBackup web UI.
On the left pane, select Security > Multi-person authorization.
On the top right, select Configure multi-person authorization.
In the Exempted users section, select the Add button.
Specify the name of the user whom you want to exempt from the multi-person authorization process.
Select Add to list and then Save.
Select Save.
