NDMP Copy Command is run via root user only or else we have to create the new ndmmp user and generate the password for the same.
 
Process is mentioned in the below link:-

- Enable NDMP:
 netapp> ndmpd on
- Create a new user specifically for NDMP:
 netapp*> useradmin user add ndmp -g "Backup Operators"
 New password: XXXXXXXXX
 Retype new password: XXXXXXXXX
 User <ndmp> added.
- Non-root users have a special NDMP password that is different from their login password and is displayed by this command:
 netapp> ndmpd password ndmp
 password MzUV5p6R
- Set NDMP to accept both plaintext and md5 authentication requests:
 netapp> options ndmpd.authtype plaintext,challenge
