The CTERA Agent Editor
The CTERA Agent it is managed using the CTERA Agent Editor.
The CTERA Gateway administrator can choose whether to give access to end users to configure their agent. If end users are not given access to configure their agent, only the gateway administrator can select which files are backed up from each end user computer. End users can initiate backup and restore operations, but cannot select files for backing up.
For details about setting up end users to configure their agents, see the CTERA Edge Filer (Gateway) Administration Guide. If end users are given access to configure their agent, then they can select which local files are backed up.
Each gateway contains a set of global agent settings which are applied by default to all agents connected to the gateway. Global agent settings can be overridden for each agent in the gateway. For details, see the CTERA Edge Filer (Gateway) Administration Guide.
Note: To manage the CTERA agent, the user must be either a root user or a member of the group ctera.
