Managing Portal and Browser users

The Data Mover consists of two web-based user interfaces, the Data Mover Portal and Data Mover Browser.

  • Data Mover Portal: The Portal is the tool to manage and monitor the data moving tasks. It also enables IT administrators, to restore the data in big volumes.

  • Data Mover Browser: The Browser provides a high-efficiency way to browse the data you backed up in the Lyve Cloud.

You can create a local and an LDAP user in Data Mover. The local user can log in using the credentials, and the LDAP user is authenticated based on the organization's credentials.

To access these two web-based user interfaces, you must create different users to access each UI.

If you do not add permission to view the pages of the user interface in the Data Mover portal, users can log in to the portal but cannot see any information.
