Using a list of individual accounts to manage DLO permissions

An administrator on the media server can create and configure DLO administrator accounts for individual users. Accounts can be individually configured to specify full or limited restore rights.

See About administrator accounts in DLO.

Alternatively, DLO can be configured to use domain groups for permissions management.

See Using domain groups to manage DLO permissions.

To configure DLO to use a list of individual accounts for permissions management

  1. On Network menu, click Administrator Accounts.

  2. Click Permissions.

  3. Uncheck the Use domain groups to manage access to network user data folders check box.

    When this check box is checked, domain groups are listed on the Administrator Account Management dialog box. When this check box is unchecked, individual user accounts are listed. If you change from one type of account management to another, the previous settings are retained for future use. For example, if you have a list of individual DLO administrators and then change your configuration to use domain groups, the list of individual accounts is saved. The list of individual accounts is used again if you uncheck the check box.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Do one of the following:

    To add a new DLO administrator account

    Click Add, and then continue with step 6

    To modify an existing DLO administrator account

    Click Edit, and then continue with step 6

    To delete an existing DLO administrator account

    Click Remove, and then continue with step 7

  6. Define the administrator account as follows:

    User Name

    Type the name of the user you want to give administrative rights to. Use the format DomainName\UserName

    Description

    Type a description for this administrator account.

    Notes

    Type any relevant notes regarding the administrator account.

    Grant administrator full restore privileges

    Select this check box to allow this DLO administrator full restore privileges, including the ability to restore desktop user data to an alternate location.

    Allowing someone other than the desktop user who owns the data to restore files to an alternate location can compromise data security.

  7. Click OK twice.
