You already answered above for this. It was just an argument why a restricted user can be confused by the full list of commands, when most of the commands are not available. The "not allowed" commands will return an error like "xxxxxx is an invalid command" and the user has no information about what is allowed and what is not. Having just the allowed command list will eliminate any confusion here. And I'm talking, of course, about the main command level. > ... > > > > It's true I wasn't able to restore any files from other jobs, but I > > was able to "browse" the files list.

When using the "restore" command, you can chose, for example, "Enter list of comma separated JobsIds to select". Based on the information retrived with "query" command, you can specify a job id that not belongs to the restricted console. You'll be able to "see" the files from the backup, but, as I said, it will fail at the final step of the restore. Sure, I can disable the restore command for the rstricted console and keep only the restore tab feature from wx-console, running this way only the predefined restore jobs.
