Note:
To maintain restricted access across multiple vSphere users within Protector, datastores must not be shared by those users.
Restoring involves mounting the entire datastore, meaning that a user performing a restore could potentially see another users data if they share a datastore.
To configure an environment where multiple vSphere users' restricted access in vSphere must be maintained when using the Protector Connector for vRO:
- The Protector Backup Administrator must perform the following steps:
-
The vRO administrator must set a Protector Master for the Protector Connector for vRO to communicate with:
- Each Protector-vSphere user must provide their Protector user credentials for the Protector Connector for vRO to use when running workflows. Credentials are stored in the Protector plug-in so this step is only required once:
- From the vSphere Client right click on an object in the Navigator pane.
- Select the Add User workflow, enter the user's Protector credentials, then click Finish.
