To do that, you first go into NetWorker Management Console as an administrative user, and go across to the\u00a0Setup<\/em> pane.<\/p>\n You’ll then create a new user account:<\/p>\n Within the Create\u00a0User dialog, be certain to\u00a0only<\/em> select\u00a0Console User<\/em> as the role:<\/p>\n At this point, you’ve successfully created a user account that can run NMC reports, but can’t administer the NetWorker server.<\/p>\n However<\/em>, you’re then faced with a decision. Do you want a reports-only\u00a0user that can “look but don’t touch”, or do you want\u00a0a reports-only user that can’t\u00a0view<\/em> any of the NetWorker configuration (or at least, anything other than can be ascertained by the reports themselves)?<\/p>\n If you want\u00a0your reports user to be able to run reports and you’re not fussed\u00a0about the user being able to view the majority of your NetWorker configuration, you’re done at this point. If however your organisation\u00a0has a higher security focus, you may need to look at adjusting the basic\u00a0Users<\/em> NetWorker user group. If you’re familiar with it, you’ll know this has the following configuration: This usergroup\u00a0in the default configuration allows any user in the NetWorker datazone to:<\/p>\n The key there is\u00a0any user<\/em> – *@*. <\/strong>Normally you want this to be set to *@*,\u00a0but if you’re a particularly security focused organisation you might want to tighten this down to only those users and system accounts authorised to perform recoveries. The same\u00a0principle applies here. Let’s say I didn’t want the reports user to see any of the NetWorker configuration, but I did want any root, system or pmdg user in\u00a0the environment to still have that basic functionality. I\u00a0could change the Users usergroup to the following:<\/p>\n With this usergroup modified, logging in as the reports user will show a very blank NMC monitoring tab:<\/p>\n Similarly, the client list (as an example) will be quite empty too:<\/p>\n![\"New](\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Screen-Shot-2015-05-25-at-18.55.24-.png\")
