Hello,
I always thought that a tsm admin does not have access to client data. I
think I learned something new.
Calling dsmc or dsm with -node=tarzan and specifying a valid admin id and
password (system privilege) gives access to node tarzan's data. At least it
is possible to list the files. I haven't tried to restore data. This is
indeed documented. However, I would prefer if there were a message in the
activity log saying that admin id was used.
Am I wrong? Could someone explain this feature in more detail?

Best regards
Gerhard
