Privileges for centralized management
This section describes the users' privileges that are required to manage a machine locally and
remotely, to manage a machine registered on Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server,
and to access and manage Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node.
2.12.7.1
Types of connection to a managed machine
There are two types of connection to a managed machine: local connection and remote connection.
Local connection
The local connection is established between Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console on
a machine and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent on the same machine.
To establish a local connection
On the toolbar, click
Connect
, then point to
New connection
, and then click
This machine
.
Remote connection
A remote connection is established between Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console on
one machine and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent on another machine.
You might need to specify logon credentials to establish a remote connection.
To establish a remote connection
1.
On the toolbar, click
Connect
, then point to
New connection
, and then click
Manage a remote
machine
.
2.
In
Machine
, type or select the name or IP address of the remote machine to which you want to
connect; or click
Browse
to select the machine from the list.
3.
To specify credentials for connection, click
Options
and then type the user name and password in
the
User name
and
Password
boxes respectively. In Windows, if you leave the
User name
box
empty, the credentials under which the console is running will be used.
4.
To save the password for the specified user name, select the
Save password
check box; the
password will be saved in a secure storage on the machine where the console is running.
2.12.7.2
Privileges for local connection
Local connection on a machine running Windows can be established by any user who has the "Log on
locally" user right on the machine.
2.12.7.3
Privileges for remote connection in Windows
To establish a remote connection to a machine running Windows, the user must be a member of the
Acronis Remote Users security group on that machine.
After remote connection is established, the user has management rights on the remote machine as
described in User rights on a managed machine (p. 31).
Note: On a remote machine running Windows Vista with enabled User Account Control (UAC)—and which is not
part of a domain—only the built-in Administrator user can back up data and perform disk management
operations. To overcome the restriction, include the machine into a domain or disable UAC on the machine (by
default, UAC is enabled). The same applies to machines running Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.
