How Delegated Security Works

Delegated Security lets you control each user's access rights by setting the Content Distribution scenario file access control list (ACL) properties.

The ACL-based authentication model is a role based authentication model in Arcserve RHA. There are four pre-defined roles. Each role has pre-defined permissions defining what can be done to a scenario. The roles are:

A Super User has full control rights for a scenario, while Admin, Control, and View-only have limited rights to the scenario. Only the Super User has the right to create a new scenario.

A user must be assigned one of the four roles to gain access to a scenario. A Super User or Admin can assign users or groups to any scenario and delegate rights to the users or groups. When a user tries to access a scenario through Arcserve RHA Manager or Arcserve RHA PowerShell, the current role is checked and, based on the permission of the role; the operation is allowed or denied.
