Dear Netbackup buddies
I wanted to know is there any way to let a non-root user can execute Netbackup commands under the UNIX in Netbackup 6.5? Thanks a lot

May get shot down in flames here, but
I would say "no" - the following T/N states:
"...
Running commands in the Netbackup environment as a non-root user has been completely removed as a non-root administrator could potentially exploit these binaries to gain access to the computer system in which NetBackup is installed.
..."
Cannot run the available_media script as a non-root user.

Using sudo you should be able
Using sudo you should be able to give users access to specific commands without giving them full root access

I believe Netbackup Access Control can do the job. But it not a walk in the park to implement it.
Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.
