Using the Details pane

The Details pane of the Users screen provides detailed information about the user account selected in the user list. To view additional details about a user, click the corresponding > icon in the far left column. Depending on the type of user account selected, Server Backup Manager displays up to six tabs. The following tabs are available:

• Details. (All user accounts) Displays additional details about the selected user account. For Power-Users and Sub-Users, this tab also displays the total number of groups, administrators (Sub-User only), Sub-User accounts (Power-User only), volumes, and servers associated with the account.
• Groups. (Power-User accounts only) Displays a list of the groups to which the user account belongs. (This column only displays if Group-based Administration is enabled in the Product Features screen.)
