Setting a User's Management Capabilities

Assign management capabilities to a user to specify the management operations that user can perform in MyLiveVault.

By default, no capabilities are assigned to new users. Each capability must be manually assigned to a user before that user can perform the associated operations.

All users for a company account can view the capability settings for all other users. However, you must have the capability User can add, edit, and remove other users to assign capabilities to other users.

Also, you can only assign to other users the set (or a subset) of capabilities that you have. For example, if you have the capability User can add, edit, and remove computers then you can assign that to another user. If you do not have the capability User can add, edit, and remove computers then you cannot assign that to another user.

The capabilities are associated with the user; they are not specific to a computer. For example, if a user is assigned the capability to manage backup configuration (that is, User can add, edit, suspend, and remove backup configurations), then the user can manage backup configuration for all computers that are assigned to that user.
