SAM's displaying only one option (Backup and Recovery)

[Darrell Tyler_1]

I have a user that once logged onto a particular box can starts up SAM, however the user is presented with only one option, (Backup and Recovery). The user can log into other boxes, startup SAM and have full functionality. The boxes are the same type and OS, and the user uses xterms. Can anyone lend me some guidance as to what might be causing this and a possible fix.

HI Darrel,

login as root on the box, start

# sam -r

and add the functionalities you would like to give to this user.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Maybe the user is presented with restricted sam.

Maybe this link would help,

Sounds like this box has "Restricted SAM" set up for this user. As root, start up "sam -r" and check to see what is listed as available to this user.

Darrell,
use sam -r to build restricted version of sam for this user.
With this you can spcify exactly what access the user will have.

Hi

As mentioned by others here it looks like it has restrictions on sam. You can use the -r option for sam to see the what restrictions are there for the users.

You can give the permissions based on this list from -r option.

the sam -r did the trick. Thanks much.
