Migration from management console roles to IAM roles

This page describes how the existing roles assigned in the management console are mapped to the corresponding predefined Backup and DR Service IAM roles. This is applicable only to users who have roles assigned to them in the management console and are on version 11.0.4 or lower.

Map the management console roles to IAM predefined roles

Use the following table to assign new predefined Backup and DR IAM roles to users who had the following roles earlier in the management console. To learn how to assign a new role to a user, see Assign IAM roles to a user. To learn how to modify a role to a user, see Modify an existing role to a user.

Before mapping the management console role to IAM, check the management console role assigned to a user from the management console's Manage > Roles page and then map with IAM role to that user in the IAM & Admin page using the following table.
