Hello Saeed, For Baculum Web there is no special difference if it works with Baculum API hosts which manage Bacula components that belong to Director A or to Director B. The important thing for Baculum Web is to be able to connect to API hosts. What functions do these API hosts provide, it is a different story (and different level). If Baculum API host A works with Director A, Baculum API host B works with Director B, then when you switch Baculum Web to use API host A, you will see resources from Director A, when you switch Baculum Web to use API host B, you will see resources from Director B.
In practice it works in a way that API host A and API host B need to have defined the Catalog and the Bconsole access as they work as main hosts for Baculum Web. For rest "non-main" API hosts there is not this requirement. Information about it is here: https://baculum.app/doc/brief/configuration.html#installation-wizards Yes, you are right that there is not special documentation for using Baculum in multiple Director environment. General theory about how it works is described in "Remote host management" chapter here: https://baculum.app/doc/remote/basic.html In YouTube channel you can also find a video titled "Baculum - multiple API hosts" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snjQw-3ZfVk For Console settings, here are two movies that show setting Consoles to use restricted user access for Basic auth and OAuth2: Baculum Web - restricted user access using Console ACLs and API basic auth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6RbUmmD3As Baculum Web - restricted user access using Console ACLs and OAuth2 client https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvKtvZCvjLQ I hope it helps.
