Adding users who can back up your computer

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
You can use the Security Configuration Tool to control which users on your computer can access and configure key features of Veritas System Recovery.
For example, all users with Limited Windows accounts can run existing backup jobs, but they cannot create new jobs or edit existing jobs. Using the Security Configuration Tool, you can grant administrative privileges to a Limited user account. When you do, that user has full access to Veritas System Recovery and can create, edit, delete, and run backup jobs.
Note: By default, all users can run existing backup jobs. But only users with administrative accounts can create, edit, or delete backup jobs.
