1.3.1 Accounts and groups

There are two account types: administrator accounts and user accounts. Both the user and the

administrators can manage backups of the user's data.

Each account belongs to a group. The organization group is automatically created for your

organization. Optionally, you can create unit groups, which typically correspond to units or

departments of the organization.

An administrator can create and manage groups, administrator accounts, and user accounts on or

below their level in the hierarchy.
