Integrating Active Directory with NetVault Backup

Integrating AD with NetVault Backup enables role-based access control in NetVault Backup. It lets users log in to NetVault Backup using their AD credentials. It also lets AD users manage NetVault Backup users.


	IMPORTANT: During Active Directory integration with NetVault Backup, the Active Directory service must always be available. Additionally, the NetVault Backup Server should be a member of the domain.

Adding an AD group to NetVault Backup and specifying privileges, levels of access, and notifications for the group ensures that members of the group have the corresponding access from the first time that they log on.
