Create a Resource Group

A resource group defines the resources that will be made available to a user. Every resource added to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus can be included in a resource group, along with individual IBM Spectrum Protect Plus functions and screens. This gives you the ability to finely-tune the experience of a user. For example, a resource group could include an individual hypervisor, with access to only backup and reporting functionality. When the resource group is associated with a role and a user, the user will only see the screens associated with backup and reporting for the assigned hypervisor.

Create a resource group:

  1. From the navigation menu, expand Accounts, then click Resource Groups.
  2. Click Create resource group. The Create resource group pane displays.
  3. In the Name of the new resource group field, enter a name.
  4. From the I would like to create a resource group drop-down menu, select a creation method. Available options include New and From template.
  5. New - Select a resource type from the Choose a resource type drop-down menu. Select resource subtypes, then click Add Resources. Resources are added to the Selected Resources view.
  6. From template - Select an existing resource group from the Which resource group would you like to use as a template? drop-down menu. Resources from the selected template are added to the Selected Resources view. Additional resources can be added through the Choose a resource type and subtype drop-down menus, or deleted from the Selected Resources view by clicking the resource's associated delete icon.
  7. To view available resource groups and their usage, see Resource Group Types.
  8. Continue adding resources to the resource group. Once complete, click Create Resource Group. The resource group appears in the Resource Group table and can be associated with new and existing user accounts.

Next, create roles to define the actions that can be performed by the user of an account associated with a resource group. Roles are used to define permissions to interact with the resources defined in the resource group. See Create a Role.
