Hello,

Bacula has support for ACL with access defined in text configuration
files. The functionality is named Console ACL and more information you
can find in documentation here:

http://www.bacula.org/7.0.x-manuals/en/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0015180000000000000000

By using Console ACL functionality you can assign resources (e.g.
backup jobs, restore jobs, clients, storages) for which end-user via
text console, GUI console is allowed to use these restricted resources
and no other resources.

In short relation looks like below (1):

SERVER <-> TEXT/GUI console <-> END user

or with Web interface (2):

SERVER <-> TEXT console <-> Web Interface <-> END user

where:
- SERVER - general meaning Bacula server services,
- TEXT console - bconsole tool
- GUI console - BAT (Bacula Administration Tool)
- Web Interface - any that has support for restrited consoles

About integration with AD:

You can integrate AD users on web server level in solution (2) as auth
backend. Apache has support for LDAP, AD and others. At the end you
can allow end-users to login to web interface by HTTP Basic that in
your case will be use as auth backend your AD.

Best regards.
Marcin
