Add users

Server Backup Manager allows you to add different types of users depending on your version and permissions. In Server Backup Manager, Super-Users have the ability to add new users accounts into the system. A Power-User can add new user accounts *only* if the option *User can create and administrate sub-users* is selected for the Power-User account.

{info:title=Tip}
While creating and editing other users, you can set their languages as "Japanese" or "Spanish," but retain "English" as your own default language.{info}
{info:title=Note}
Choice of a language is based on which {{messages_*.properties}} files are installed. You can set or override the language on a user-by-user basis. When you change the language, the GUI must refresh the text to the selected language immediately. If no language is chosen, English is default. If a user-chosen or stored language pack is not available, the Server Backup Manager default of English is used.{info}
