2.3 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.

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.
Administrative users
A user who has administrative privileges on the machine, such as a member of the Administrators or
Backup Operators group, additionally has the following management rights:
 Back up and recover the entire machine or any data on the machine, with or without using a disk
snapshot.
Members of the Administrators group also can:

View and manage backup plans and tasks owned by any user on the machine.

2.4 Owners and credentials

This section explains the concept of owner and the meaning of a backup plan's (or task's) credentials.
Plan (task) owner
A local backup plan owner is the user who created or last modified the plan.
A centralized backup plan owner is the management server administrator who created or last
modified the centralized policy that spawned the plan.
Tasks, belonging to a backup plan, either local or centralized, are owned by the backup plan owner.
Tasks that do not belong to a backup plan, such as the recovery task, are owned by the user who has
created or last modified the task.
Managing a plan (task) owned by another user
Having Administrator privileges on the machine, a user can modify tasks and local backup plans
owned by any user registered in the operating system.
When a user opens a plan or task for editing, which is owned by another user, all passwords set in
the task are cleared. This prevents the "modify settings, leave passwords" trick. The program displays
