it looks like netbackup does not allow to specify the group Names
see below from the Admin guide, it needs individual entry for each user, not group entries.
The first field of each entry is the user name that is granted access to the rightsthat the entry specifies. In the released version, the first field lets root users useall of the NetBackup-Java applications.An asterisk in the first field indicates that any user name is accepted and the useris allowed to use the applications as specified. If the auth.conf file exists, it musthave an entry for each user. Or, the auth.conf file must have an entry thatcontains an asterisk (*) in the user name field; users without entries cannot accessany NetBackup-Java applications. Any entries that designate specific user namesmust precede a line that contains an asterisk in the user name field.Note: The asterisk specification cannot be used to authorize all users for anyadministrator capabilities. Each user must be authorized by using individualentries in the auth.conf file.using Vi editor , it might not big deal to enter all user entries
