Assigning Users to Access and Manage a Computer

When a computer is added in MyLiveVault, you specify the users who can access and manage the computer. These users will be able to view this computer on the All Computers form and perform operations (such as backup or restore as allowed by that user's assigned capabilities) for this computer. You can quickly add or remove users for a specific computer at any time by editing a computer's properties.

To assign users to access and manage a computer

  1. On the MyLiveVault Home page, the All Computers form lists all the computers on your company account. Do one of the following:

    • Click Backup/Restore in the Action column for the computer you want to assign to users.

    • Click the name of the computer you want to assign to users if the Action column is displaying Pending Security Authorization, Install Software, or Configure Backup.

  2. On the Computer Information form, click the Properties tab.

  3. In the Computer Properties section, click Edit.

  4. On the Computer Properties form, use the Can Manage column to specify the users who you want to allow to access and manage the computer:

    • Select the check box in the Can Manage column for each user who you want to allow to access and manage this computer. This user will be able to view this computer on the All Computers form and perform operations (such as backup or restore as allowed by that user's assigned capabilities) for this computer.

    • Clear the check box in the Can Manage column for each user who you do not want to allow to access and manage this computer. This user will not be able to view this computer on the All Computers form or perform any operations (such as backup or restore) for this computer.

      Note: This check box only allows or disallows a user the ability to access and manage the computer. The management operations that a user can perform on an assigned computer is determined by the user's assigned management capabilities.

  5. When you are done editing the computer's properties, click Done.
