    There is no Netbackup command to add/remove users form auth.conf - that would be easy to use for automating.

    If you append 1 or 20 lines to to auth.conf is pretty forward and the same proecdure.

    According to the NBU admin guide (Authorization file (auth.conf) characteristics) page 1112, you can only specify individual in auth.conf and not OS groups.

    There is only one auth.conf fiel in Netbackup - /use/openv/java/auth.conf

    its a text file, so if you just append to it you should be OK

    e.g. 

    echo "NMA ADMIN=JBP JBP=ENDUSER+BU+ARC" >> /usr/openv/java/auth.conf
