3.3 User privileges on a managed machine
When managing a machine running Windows, the scope of a user's management rights depends on
the user's privileges on the machine.
Regular users
A regular user, such as a member of the Users group, has the following management rights:
Perform file-level backup and recovery of the files that the user has permissions to access—but
without using a file-level backup snapshot (p. 87).
Create backup plans and tasks and manage them.
View—but not manage—backup plans and tasks created by other users.
View the local event log.
Backup operators
A user who is a member of the Backup Operators group, also has the following management right:
Back up and recover the entire machine or any data on the machine, with or without using a disk
snapshot. Using a hardware snapshot provider may still require administrative privileges.
Administrators
A user who is a member of the Administrators group, also has the following management right:
View and manage backup plans and tasks owned by any user on the machine.
