Creating an account

At least one account (either an administrator or a user) must exist within a unit.

To create an account

1. Log in to the backup console.
2. Click Manage accounts.
3. Select a group in which you want to create the account.
4. Click the Accounts tab.
5. Click Add account.
6. 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
7. If you want this account to be an administrator account, enable the Administrator privileges switch.
8. [Optional] Disable the Agent auto update switch. If you do this, the agents that are registered under this account not be updated automatically when a new version is released.
9. [Optional] Specify the storage quota and the maximum number of machines/devices/mailboxes the user is allowed to back up.
   • Physical workstations
   • Physical servers
   • Windows Server Essentials
   • Virtual hosts
   • Mobile devices
   • Office 365 mailboxes
   • 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 6. Restrictions on using the backup service are not applied.

10. [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.

11. [Optional] In Backup locations, select the backup locations for this account. The following values are available:
    • Local and cloud
    • Cloud only
12. [Optional] Change the Backup notifications level. You can choose one of the following levels:
    • Off: No notifications
    • Less: Notifications about backup failures (default)
    • More: Notifications about backup failures and warnings
    • All: Notifications about backup failures, warnings, and successful backups

    All notifications are sent to the specified email address.

13. [Optional] Disable Business notifications. If you do this, notifications about exceeded quotas will not be sent to the specified email address.
14. 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.
