In our environment we have trust issues. Our Backup administrators do not trust our VM admins to not mess up the backup environment if they are given full access to the administration console and our VM admins do not trust our backup admins to do a VM restore to then VM environment. And besides our Backup Admins do not want to do the restore either.
I have tried to figure out how to maneuver the Java console to allow for VM restores but it just insists that that type of restore requires full administrator privileges. Any ideas as to how I can get around this?
NBU environment 7.5.0.6 running on SLES 11 (soon to be 7.6.0.1)

VMware?
You mentioned upgrading to 7.6.0.1. Have you looked at the vCenter plugin? I haven't dug too much into it, but it looks promising.

As mentioned in HOWTO46939, you will want to grant them permissions to certain authorization objects
Also, you can just give them access to the java restore console (jbpSA), and not jnbsa (NetBackup console) for restores. But this will come down to user training.

That is fine if you are using NBAC but we are not and the jbpSA is not available in a VM environment.

Thank you! I had thought there was a plug-in but when I could only find a reference to a 7.5 beta and nothing else I was doubting my memory. This should work nicely.
