Java Admin Console on Windows, authenticate using auth.conf not NBAC (VxSS)

Hi all, we have the following environment: host1:   Win2008R2   Not a domain member   Nbu Master 7.5.0.3   Veritas\java\auth.conf (Contains one line: "nbu_user1 ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL")...

    Local Admin rights has been a requirement for as long as I've known NBU. 

    auth.conf gives NBU rights, not OS-level.
    most NBU commands need OS-level admin rights.

Thanks for replying Marianne,

So then, there is no way to restict nbu_user1 to below-local-admin rights on the master server, while at the same time, giving him/her full NBU rights when accessing from a remote Java admin console?

If the auth.conf "route" can't do it, I was under the impression that the NBAC route can.
But now, I'm not so sure anymore about whether NBAC could even do exactly this. (...but could it?)
