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
