Good dayCommvault people,
I have a customer who’s asking if we can enable two-factor authentication for the Admin account. My first answer would be no, as it is your only backdoor account, if there is a disaster and you need to restore anything.
I also looked at the documentation and they mention enabling it for the CommCell which is for everyone, but does that include the built-in Admin account?
Many thanks in advance for clarifications.
Carl

I enabled 2FA for all users in my lab and it applied to the “admin” account.
I would argue the “admin” account is/should be the most powerful account in the system, and thus should definitely require extra security measures in order to keep it locked down.
Thanks,
Scott
Thanks so much Scott!
You’re the best! :-)
Have an excellent day!
