5. Groups

To configure Groups you must be logged into SBAdmin as a

User

with “System Admin” privilege.

When SBAdmin was first installed the group “main” was created. “main” will function as the default group and no
further group configuration is necessary. You may choose to configure groups to assist with organization or
security in your backup environment.

Groups are used to allow a single SBAdmin to organize and manage Storix

Clients

and

Servers

; and may be

configured to allow or restrict certain

User

access. Groups are also necessary when configuring servers that will

share or limit client access based on group ID. For further examples of groups please see the

Using Groups

section of this guide.
