Fundamentals: Console

The Bacula Console is a program that allows system administrators or users to communicate with the Bacula Director. Bacula Consoles are available with different user front ends: text-based console interface, graphical user interface, and web interface. The first and simplest is to run the bconsole program in a shell window (i.e., TTY interface). Also, the most complete tool being BWeb Management Suite available in the Bacula Enterprise version.

If you want to give access to a particular user (not overall Bacula administrator), you need to configure a Console for them. In particular, it may be desirable to implement specific Access Control Lists to prevent users from accessing data they are not authorized for. This part is covered in the Console Configuration chapter.
