DCNAME
stands for the NetBIOS name of the domain controller. Each dollar sign is surrounded
by a single space on either side.
Instead of explicitly including the names of all members of the Administrators group, the
Administrators group itself is included.
Tip: To ensure proper group names, you should install Acronis components in a domain controller after you have
set up the domain controller itself. If the components were installed before you set up the domain controller,
create the groups
DCNAME
$ Acronis Remote Users and
DCNAME
$ Acronis Centralized Admins manually, and
then include the members of Acronis Remote Users and Acronis Centralized Admins in the newly created groups.

User privileges on a storage node
The scope of a user's privileges on Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node depends on the
user's rights on the machine where the storage node is installed.
A regular user, such as a member of the Users group on the storage node, can:
Create archives in any centralized vault managed by the storage node
View and manage archives owned by the user
A user who is a member of the Administrators group on the storage node can additionally:
View and manage any archive in any centralized vault managed by the storage node
Create centralized vaults to be managed by the storage node—provided that the user is also an
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server administrator
Re-schedule the compacting task, as described in Operations with storage nodes (p. 314), under
"Change the compacting task schedule"
Users with these additional privileges are also called storage node administrators.
Recommendations on user accounts
To allow users to access the centralized vaults managed by a storage node, you must ensure that
those users have a right to access the storage node from the network.
If both the users' machines and the machine with the storage node are in one Active Directory
domain, you probably do not need to perform any further steps: all users are typically members of
the Domain Users group and so can access the storage node.
Otherwise, you need to create user accounts on the machine where the storage node is installed. We
recommend creating a separate user account for each user who will access the storage node, so that
the users are able to access only the archives they own.
When creating the accounts, follow these guidelines:
For users whom you want to act as storage node administrators, add their accounts to the
Administrators
group.
For other users, add their user accounts to the
Users
group.
Additional right of machine administrators
A user who is a member of the Administrators group on a machine can view and manage any
archives created
from that machine
in a managed vault—regardless of the type of that user's account
on the storage node.
