Add users

Server Backup Manager allows you to add different types of users depending on your version and permissions. In Server Backup Advanced, there are only Super-User accounts.

In Server Backup Manager, Super-Users have the ability to add new users accounts into the system while 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.
To create a new user account:
# In the Main menu, click *Users*, and then click *Create New User* in the Users menu. Server Backup Manager displays the Create New User window as shown in the following image. *{_}If the permissions for the logged in user account prevent the account from creating new user accounts{_}*, *Create New User* is disabled. The user account administrator can change this permission, if necessary.

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}
