1. Log on to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu and navigate to the Settings > Security > Authorization view.
2. Run one of the following commands, depending on whether you want to grant the Administrator role to a user or a user group:

   • Grant Administrator Users <username>, where <username> is a local user or a registered user that has been added to the appliance from a configured remote directory service (LDAP, AD, or NIS).

   • Grant Administrator Groups <groupname>, where <groupname> is a registered user group that has been added to the appliance from a configured remote directory service (LDAP, AD, or NIS).

   You can grant roles to multiple users or user groups at once with a comma-separated list.
