Setting Owner User Groups on a Client Using the Command Line Interface

You can use XML to:

Add existing user groups to a client computer as client owners

Client owners have access to the client computer and can perform backup and restore operations on the client.
Remove client owner user groups from a client computer
Replace all client owner user groups on a client computer with different client owner user groups

Procedure

Download the ug_owners_to_client.xml file to the computer from where you will run the command.
Open the .xml file and update the XML parameters listed in the table below.
Run the qlogin command to log on to the CommServe computer.
From software_installation_directory/Base type the following command after substituting the XML parameters:
```
qoperation execute -af ug_owners_to_client.xml
```
Verify the user group is a client owner on the client:
1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the client and then click Properties.
  
  The Client Computer Properties dialog box appears.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. The user group appears in the User Groups pane of the Client Owners section.

The following table displays the XML parameters needed before running the qoperation command:

clientUserGroupOwners	Name of the user groups to add as a client owner. To modify multiple user groups, add a <clientUserGroupOwners> element for each user group, for example: `<clientUserGroupOwners>UserGroup1</clientUserGroupOwners> <clientUserGroupOwners>UserGroup2</clientUserGroupOwners>`
