Adding permissions for non-administrator user access in a cluster
To browse, back up, or restore cluster file shares, the user must be added to the Backup Operators and Administrators groups on each cluster node in the same cluster system. For remote access, add the user to the Remote Desktop User group.
Prerequisites
The new user must be in the list of
Users of the machine's
Domain Controller.
Steps
Log into a cluster node as a
Domain Administrator.
Start
Server Manager.
Select
Tools >
Computer Management.
Select
Backup Operators >
Properties > Add.
Add the new user.
Select
Administrators >
Properties > Add.
Add the new user.
To allow the new user remote access to the machine:
Select
Remote Desktop User >
Properties > Add.
Add the user.
Reboot the machine.
Repeat the steps for adding the new user to
Backup Operators,
Administrators, and
Remote Desktop User groups on each cluster node in the same cluster.
Log in the cluster node using the new user's login account.
Uninstall the Avamar base client if it exists.
Install the Avamar base client.
Run the
Cluster Configuration Tool to configure the cluster. Enter the new user name and its password in the
Windows Security dialog box.
Reactivate the client to the server.
Results
Once these permissions are set up, the user can do the following:
Browse, back up, and restore the cluster machine with Avamar Administrator.
Perform backups and restores from the command line, by right-clicking on the
PowerShell icon and selecting
Run as Administrator to open the PowerShell command prompt.
Next steps
Non-administrator users must be added to the permissions list of the
avs folder in the Avamar client's installation path. This is required to access the
bin and
var directories.
