Control Who Has Access to What Data
Multitenant Support Allows for Specific Client and Role-Based Access

Define users and roles with unique access so you remain in control over who has access to what data. Flexible enough to meet your clients needs, with default or customized access rights.

Control Access Using Groups and Roles

Use Groups for Companies and Departments
Organize Your Clients First by Groups

In order to create an organizational structure for access control, first set up each company as its own group. Within each group, if you need to separate departments within a company (for reporting or access restrictions), create another group as a subfolder under the company.

Set up Agents and Devices Under Groups
Organize Agents Under Groups

Once you have setup your company and department group folders, you are ready to add Agents, or individual systems to be protected and the devices their system can connect to under your company groups. Users with permissions to edit the agent, can add a new cloud or network devices.

Set up Roles with Specific Access Rights
Define Custom Roles or Use Default Roles

Roles define what a user can do within the CMon console for the group they have been given permission to access. While default roles have been created, as the Admin you can create new roles, or view and edit existing roles. Each role can be customized to meet yours or your clients needs for view and editing access.

Create User Accounts with Unique Access
Each User Account Can be Setup with Unique Access Rights

When you create a new user, you will need to select the user's role, and the groups the user has authorization to manage. If a storage server is configured, you can select the storage server groups the user is authorized to manage, or you can create a unique storage server group for this user.

Notification Triggers and Real-Time Alerts

Email Notification Triggers
A Single Trigger Can be Created for an Entire Group of Agents

A notification trigger can be setup for a select group of agents based on a specified interval of time. The notification will be sent via email to the email addresses specified in the trigger configuration on a Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Immediate basis. These triggers can be setup based on job status and are highly customizable, so you are always up-to-date on the status of your clients backup jobs.

Avoid Potential Problems with Real-time Alerts
Setup Alerts to Tigger Based on Failed Backup Jobs

Trigger alerts can be setup to alert you of any potential issues regarding backup jobs. Receive an immediate email alert notifying you if a backup job fails, stops or has a warning, so you can act swiftly to resolve the situation for your client and avoid any potential data loss.

"NovaBACKUP's disaster recovery image backup was the only thing that was able to bring our clients crypto-locked admin server back to life. We tried the restore and it's like it never even happened. This proves why NovaBACKUP products are essential for disaster recovery and nightly backups. Amazing products and support staff. I give them the highest rating possible"
