Deleting local user account

In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.

On the Manage User and Group Accounts page, select the user account, and click Delete.

In the confirmation dialog box, click Delete to remove the user account from the NetVault Backup Server.


	NOTE: The admin and default user accounts cannot be deleted.

Setting password policy

The password policy defines the maximum age for a user password and applies globally to all local NetVault Backup users. Also MSP administrator can set password policy for local users which are created by MSP itself. Although the UI indicates that the setting applies to all users, the policy established in Active Directory supersedes the policy in NetVault Backup for AD users.

To set a password policy:

In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.

On the Manage User and Group Accounts page, click Set Password Policy.

On the Set Password Policy page, provide the following information:

•

Select the Passwords expire after check box, and type or select the maximum number of days a password can be used before the user is required to change it.

•

Select the Display Reminder check box, and specify how many days in advance users are notified to change their password. The message is displayed every time the user logs on to NetVault Backup.

Click Apply to save the password policy.
