To enable users to select an access node (VSA proxy) or a File Recovery Enabler for Linux (FREL) when they configure a hypervisor or perform a restore, you can create a role that includes the Use Proxy permission, and assign the role and an associated user group to the server that is configured as an access node or FREL.
The Use Proxy permission provides more limited access to virtualization infrastructure than the Agent Management permission. For example, in a multi-tenant environment, a Managed Service Provider (MSP) administrator can grant the permission to a tenant administrator to allow use of a shared access node without exposing other backup infrastructure.
You can configure the Use Proxy permission from the Command Center or from the CommCell Console, but the permission applies only for operations in the Command Center.
