Create a local user account

For highly privileged access to Commvault, use local user accounts to mitigate the cyber security risks associated with Active Directory. Commvault includes a built-in admin local user account with full privileges for all resources.

To create an individual local user account, do the following:

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Security.

2. Click Users.

3. Click Add user, and then select Single user.

   Want to add a bunch of users instead?

   Select Bulk users, which provides a CSV template that you download, populate, and then upload.

4. Leave Local user selected, and then specify the other details.

   

5. Click Add.
