This is an admin challenge that we've tracked for some time.
 
1) I can validate that promoting an admin, like a DBA, from 'users' 
to 'administrator' not only adds the desired permissions like 'configure' 
and 'operate devices', but also includes permissions that you might not 
want the DBA to have.

2) Current NetWorker releases, like 7.6S SPx,  do allow the NetWorker 
administrator to create a new users group with a set of customized 
permissions. We know that this is not always reasonable, but it is an 
option available to you today.

3) In the next NetWorker release we will include several new, standard 
roles in addition to 'users' and 'adminsitrator'. The new roles will have 
appropriate permissions already set for you. e.g.  'Application 
Adminsitrator' will still have backup, restore, & monitor permissions, but 
will include 'configure' and 'operate devices'. Along with a few other 
enahncements we have in store for you, this will make it much easier for 
NetWorker administrators to give users autonomy without compromising 
security policies.
