Reporting Define an ID for Tivoli Storage Manager reporting purposes. Although this administrator has no special privileges, it does have authority to issue QUERY commands. This is especially useful for producing regular reports through a method such as scripts. Disclosure of this administrator's password does not create a security exposure, because the administrator cannot change any Tivoli Storage Manager resources. In Example 8-3 we define a support administrator named REPORT. The initial password for this administrator is MIKE. Example 8-3 Creating a reporting ID tsm: ATLANTIC> register admin report mike contact="IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Reporting" ANR2068I Administrator REPORT registered. Client Define an ID for the Web administrative client access. This administrator would have client access authority to all nodes in the Tivoli Storage Manager environment. In particular, this administrator can perform restore operations on behalf of users. This is usually sufficient for smaller organizations. In larger organizations, you might require multiple administrators with this authority. In Example 8-4 we define a client administrator named HELPDESK. The initial password for this administrator is LEILLA. Later in "Granting access to client nodes" on page 294 we give this administrator client access authority to the nodes that we define. Example 8-4 Registering a client node tsm: ATLANTIC> register admin helpdesk leilla contact="IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client Administrator" ANR2068I Administrator HELPDESK registered. 8.1.5 Working with administrators In this section we explain how to perform various processes related to administrators that you will find useful in your Tivoli Storage Manager environment. 288 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
