Privilege classes for commands

The authority granted to an administrator through the privilege class determines which administrative commands that the administrator can issue.

There are four administrator privilege classes in IBM Spectrum Protect™:
  • System
  • Policy
  • Storage
  • Operator

After an administrator has been registered using the REGISTER ADMIN command, the administrator can issue a limited set of commands, including all query commands. When you install IBM Spectrum Protect, the server console is defined as a system administrator named SERVER_CONSOLE and is granted system privilege.
