When creating or editing a backup job, you are able to adjust the permissions of your backup job to grant varied levels of access to members of your Gearset team, depending on the roles and needs of that user.

This article explains how each permission affects access to the backup job.

To view or edit permissions for an existing Backup job, navigate to Data backup jobs, then on the job you want to edit select Edit job... > Edit settings...

Next, navigate to the Job permissions tab and select the Edit button.

Use the dropdown menu to look through existing team member to whom you want to assign permissions.​

Once you're finished with assigning permissions, make sure to hit Save!

By default, the backup job owner will always have full access to the backup job.

In addition, all team owners on the Gearset team will have View and Delete permissions.

Permissions cannot be removed from the Backup job owner without transferring the job to another team member.

Team owners and job owners can transfer ownership of the job by selecting Edit job... > Transfer ownership for a given backup job.

The Permissions tab allows you to assign seven types of permissions to individual members of your team.
​
These permissions are: View, Browse, Execute, Edit, Delete, Restore and Download.

Users with the View permission can see the job on their dashboard. The job will display its status, last run and next run info. They will not be able to browse the data in the job, or make any changes to the job's settings.

Users with Browse permission can view, browse, and search the data contents of each job.
