Protecting Data Using Arcserve Backup › How User Profile Management Works › Add a Windows User

Add a Windows User

Before users can be assigned a role, you must add them to the Arcserve Backup database. A Windows user can log in using their standard Windows log in.

To add a Windows user

1. From the Arcserve Backup Manager, select Administration, User Profile.

   The User Profile manager opens.

2. Click the Add User button on the toolbar.

   The Add User Dialog opens.

3. On the General tab, select Windows Authentication and enter the following information:
   • Username--Enter the new user name in the following format: domain\username. Alternatively, you can click the Search button for a list of available users.
   • Description--(Optional) In the description box, enter information about the user account.
4. Select the Roles tab, assign a role for the user.

   Note: A minimum of one role must be assigned to a user when the user is created.

5. Click OK.

   The Windows user is added to the Arcserve Backup database.

Be aware of the following:

• Any valid Windows user can be added to Arcserve Backup from the User Profile Manager.
• Only the Arcserve Backup Administrator with a Security Administrator role can add a user.
• Note: To make sure a Windows user with a blank password will not fail to log on to Arcserve Backup, you must configure a Windows Security Setting Option.
