Creating an account

At least one account (either an administrator or a user) must exist within a unit. If an EUC does not have units, at least one account must exist within the EUC.

To create an account

1. Log in to the backup management console.
2. Click Manage accounts.
3. Select a group in which you want to create the account.
4. Click the Accounts tab, and then click "+".
5. Specify the following contact information for the account.
   • Login

     Important  Each account must have a unique login. You can create multiple logins using the same email address.

   • Email address
   • [Optional] First name
   • [Optional] Last name
6. If you want this account to be an administrator account, enable the Administrator privileges switch.
7. [Optional] Specify the storage quota and the maximum number of machines the user is allowed to back up.
   • Physical workstations
   • Physical servers
   • Virtual machines
   • Storage quota

   These quotas are "soft". If any of these values are exceeded, a notification will be sent to the email address specified in step 5. Restrictions on using the backup service are not applied.

8. [Optional] Specify the quota overages. An overage allows the user to exceed the quota by the specified value. When the overage is exceeded, backups fail.

   Important  If you set both a quota and its overage to zero, the corresponding functionality will be hidden from the user.

9. [Optional] Change the Backup notifications level. If you disable backup notifications, the notifications about backup failures, warnings, and successful backups will not be sent to the specified email address.
10. [Optional] Disable Business notifications. If you do this, notifications about exceeded quotas will not be sent to the specified email address.
11. Click Add.

As a result:

• A new account appears in the Accounts tab.
• An email message containing the activation link is sent to the email address you specified.
