    Currently we don't really have role based administration - although it is being considered for a yet to be determined future version.
    You can enable some security using restricted acccounts - but this only limits the ability to change jobs using certain selection lists that need the restricted accounts, it does not limit the use of the console itself and will not stop a console user from say - doing a redirected restore of some data to somewhere they do have permissions so that they can access the data - although if you encrypt your data and restrict the encryption keys you can block some restroe functionality too.

    As there are other items that any console user can do / change, currently, you do have to trust your console users.
