Hi,
that depends, but first of all: you shouldn't give normal users the
"configure" command ACL, because then they have the permission to create
new users and ACL, so can create unlimited access to the director.
A typical use-case is to let the admin of a system define what files to
backup. You can specify a fileset, that reads a file on the client,
where the paths to backup are specified:
FileSet {
Name = "ClientDefinedBackup"
Include {
File=<</etc/backup-paths
}
}
And /etc/backup-paths (on the client) contains:
/home/userA
/home/userB
...
See
https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Fileset_Include_File

Jörg

Greetings.
In that case what would be the recommended approach?
I'd assume that creating the file by hand and doing a reloading would be
ok but
lets assume i am a user that has only access to the web-ui and thus only
access to bconsole.
How would one create all the required files to create jobs and such?

Hello Athame,
I fear, creating a fileset by "configure add" isn't possible, exactly
because of the complex syntax in this case.
